Protest poppies


I’m pleased to post a purple poppy picture 
And pen a purple poppy poem (Or prose, perhaps) 
In protest, and to pose the possibility 
 That only poppies and princes 
Are empowered to put on crowns 
Or produce parades whose price exceeds 
 The payments pledged to be preserved 
 By pruning patronage and protection for the poor.
