The palace of Versailles:
Earthly power gone awry

The monarchy absolute
of the people heedless
Then the plebs got resolute
and royals died headless

An action that ought to inspire
in any empire gone haywire

royals = here: In 1793 Louis XVI, and his spouse Marie Antoinette were, among others, executed during the French Revolution
