The tv screen flickers

with stories of shame and pain,

Of aged politicians and realms long gone,

Of expectations and promises…

A king and his daughters

Speak in prose and verse

While two cats,

Formerly at odds,

Hissing and spitting

Find themselves together,

comforting the audience.

We can get all along,

If we put aside our sibling and territorial differences…

Let’s build a new future together….
