In a land where money rules
everything is owned by the one
who has the power to cut money off from
and provide money to.

Which makes everything in the land
subject to the caprice of the person
in charge of the distribution of money,
whose greatest pleasure is the power
of his position in pushing people around
and making them bow to him
and tell him loudly how majestic and wonderful
he is.

The irony is that everyone knows how pathetically 
mad he is--how sad and tragic he is,
and what a comedic presence he presents as a shadow
that goes with him everywhere he goes, which he knows not,
thinking only that he is great beyond measure
when the truth is that the King is wearing no clothes.
