Poor Napoleon

Poor Napoleon,

Only false empires

Are ruled by those

Of imperial dignity.

Such a pity,

The family, which declared you invalid

Would fancy your tastes,

And tour all that you stole,

When they were in a position

To be catered to.

And I stayed celibate

Until I could find the willing

Just to rape it below the level of consent.

I battled New York,

And expected it to hold me up,

When in cities that would battle me.

Like Nas taking the crown,

And accepting defeat.

Like weary monarchs

Who became consorts

To vindictive whores.

Like the vindictive whore

Which made the kingdom

Her empire.

Who described the empire,

And asked foreign princes

To reappraise what they had.

And sometimes

You have to repeat yourself,

When you have this much to say.
