The fall of
the American Camelot
was not in the fall of '63,
but the fall of Saigon.
The fall of Camelot,
a story composed of many things,
hinges mainly on the age old tale of
jealousy and greed.
Feuding and fighting,
laced with affairs and treason,
show that the downfall
came from many reasons.
The table was divided
by plots and schemes.
Factions and parties
continued to stir up things.
Lancelot romanced the queen
while Mordred was evilly scheming.
Using their deception as a ploy,
Mordred set his eyes on stealing.
The throne was what he long did covet,
but Arthur stood in his way.
Through trickery and forging,
with Mordred the throne did lay.
Once he had ensured that
the mighty Arthur was slain,
he was able to continue
his dream to control and reign.
With such turmoil abound,
the noble court became unmanned.
The biggest problem with Camelot:
a kingdom divided by itself cannot stand.
