Dedication — To The Pawns Who Carry The Torch
For every factory kid from Mitchell, every diner waitress in Evansville, every Gen X survivor who watched the rich play chess with our blood as pawns, our homes as kindling, our kids as cannon fodder. They’ll burn nations, ignite world wars, commit masked genocides before they ever bend a gilded knee. They divide us left/right, vax/no-vax, red/blue — all so we never look up at the real game. This is for the pawns who march first, die youngest, and get blamed hardest. They’ll get what they want — control, wealth, power — while we bury our own. Remember their game. Burn this warning into your kids’ minds. Tell your grandkids. The next war’s already budgeted.
Prologue — The Arrest That Wasn’t The End
February fog clings to Sandringham like expensive guilt, unmarked cars crunching wet gravel outside Andrew’s self-imposed exile, headlines screaming “arrest” while his lawyers already draft appeals. Cuffs click not just for Epstein’s underage ghosts or “misconduct in office,” but for the slow unraveling of royal Teflon — six hours in custody, released on the usual technicalities, King Charles stripping titles like peeling paint from a rotting hull, raiding Royal Lodge while the real family vaults hum untouched across the Channel. You smell it through the headlines — old money panic masked as justice, the metallic tang of entitlement curdling under scrutiny, same scent as 1917 when Romanovs became “Mountbatten” overnight to dodge the Bolshevik bonfire. Elites don’t fall clean. They molt like snakes, shedding princes like Andrew to distract from the dukes still pulling strings. Watch the skies when one of theirs stumbles — jets scramble, headlines shift to “breaking tensions” abroad. We’ve seen this movie. The poor die in the trenches while royals sip cognac. History’s not repeating — it’s remastered in 4K.
Nursery Rhyme — Pawn’s Lullaby
Rich man falls, but don’t you cheer, he’s got pawns to shift the gear.
Light the match, start the war, bury truth forevermore
Pawns march forward, kings stay back — history’s just their shell game act.
Divide the poor, let brothers bleed, plant the flags that feed their greed.
World war drums when thrones get hot, pawns forget what they forgot.
Sing it soft when bombs start falling, elites win while poor keep calling.
Poem — Thrones Built on Pawn Pyres
Prince Andrew, birthday boy in cuffs, more shocked his tea went cold than girls went missing, that entitled grimace under British rain not for the sin but the sheer inconvenience of accountability scraping his velvet world. They’ll let one royal rot in headlines, parade him like Judas goat while offshore Caymans hum untouched, pawns cheering “justice!” from factory breaks, blind to the ledgers where real princes sip cognac in bunkers. Elites don’t bleed red — they bleed distractions.
History’s a bonfire of their lighting: French Revolution? Let Marie lose her head on live guillotine while Rothschilds bankrolled crowns on both sides, emerging fat from the carnage. World Wars I and II? Elites funded trenches from London to Berlin, owned the peace treaties, bought the rubble cheap — poor boys gassed in mud while Rockefellers shipped oil to both flags. Vietnam? Perfect powder keg to bury Watergate stink, draft the poor while Harvard heirs dodged with bone spurs. Iraq, Afghanistan? 9/11 smoke for Halliburton gold, trillions vanished into “rebuilding” that left deserts. Now Epstein files glow too bright? Ukraine heats up, Taiwan tensions spike — coincidence?
They’ll burn countries before boardrooms ever warm. Spark world wars when indictments loom, send our sons and daughters to die in sand or snow while their heirs intern at Goldman Sachs, sipping oat lattes between trust fund deposits. Pawns — that’s us, the believers swallowing “justice served,” the voters raging at shadows while they count digital gold in server farms colder than Siberian gulags. One prince falls like Andrew, ten dukes rise from the same slime — he’s the candle they snuff before flipping the blackout switch on the real vaults.
You see it clearest with Gen X rust-belt eyes, the ones that watched factory gates chain-padlock while CEOs jetted to Davos, preaching “globalism” as code for “your job’s collateral.” They need us divided — left screaming “racist,” right yelling “commie,” vax wars, culture wars, all fireworks while they rewrite tax codes in the smoke. World War III brews not from nations but necessity: when Epstein-level dirt threatens the pyramid top, they’ll mask it as “genocide prevention” abroad, poor dying in proxy meatgrinders while we cheer flags at home. The rich start wars. The poor die divided. Elites escape to islands, unscratched.
World War feels close because it is — skies tense, seas boiling with proxy fleets, every headline a dry tinder spark. They’ll let a few Andrews fall to pacify the mob, then unleash hell to bury the files. Pawns carry rifles into meatgrinders; kings carry briefcases to summits. Burn the pawns, save the throne — oldest play in their bloodstained playbook, and we’re cast again. Don’t forget: wars aren’t won by nations. They’re won by banks.
Epilogue — Embers After the Sacrifice
Andrew walks “free” on technicalities, “under investigation” like Epstein “suicided” in plain sight with broken neck bones and sleeping guards. Pawns cheer or wail, perfectly divided as engineered — left calling it “royalty privilege,” right muttering “deep state,” both missing the board reset behind curtains. The garage light in Mitchell dims as jets scramble somewhere east; next headlines won’t be cuffs but “escalations.” We’ve buried pets, cursed politicians, laughed through personal storms — now watch global ones brew for elite convenience. Wars don’t start from weakness or ideology. They start when thrones wobble and pawns get expendable. That sacred ground where I vowed forever to Danielle? It’ll grow poppies again soon. Remember the pawns who march first, die youngest, get forgotten fastest. Elites win when we fight each other. Next time cuffs click anywhere near power, check the skies. Bombs fall before indictments stick.
Lullaby — Sleep, Little Pawn
Sleep, little pawn, the king’s not done, wars will rise with the morning sun
Dream of thrones that you’ll never see, elites stay rich, and you’re still free —
to fight their fights, to die their wars, pawn to the end, behind closed doors.
Poor boys march where the rich point thumbs, filling graves while Davos drums.
Hush now, child, forget the game, let division whisper your name.
World war lullabies for pawns like you, elites untouched when the skies turn blue.
“They’ll let the prince fall to save the pawns from seeing the real kings — then burn us all to hide the board.”
