How the queen had found a jewel for her crown
The Indian pride plundered by an isle
Beyond a stone and a political pawn
It epitomized Britain’s colonial guile!

In this hideous heist of history
So many clans forgot their face
And the essence of their ancestry
Was lost forever without a trace!

Kohinoor’s splendor, Rosetta’s mystique, …
Are captives of a bygone age
We ain’t beyond legacy we seek
In the rituals of life’s pilgrimage!

Will King Charles dare to undo sins
His mother left upon his soul
Lost fortune stashed in faith’s coffins
What All The Royal Dynasts Stole!
