The Empress New Robe Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

This cunning woman
She thought she can mask her real self
by getting the position she wants
She’s so arrogant
Too proud, she thought she’s at the top

Hallucinated
Thinking she can get everyone’s respect
She didn’t knew
She was tricked by the swindlers
as she is also a woman of fraud
the positions she wears
is the same as the clothes in the story of
The Emperor’s Robe

It made her believe
That she’s wearing the finest fabric
which is only visible to the finest few!
Though she didn’t see it also
but she cannot admit her incompetence and stupidity
her ugliness and corrupt ways!

so she announce how beautiful it is
and out of fear her friends just nod and agree
but even an innocent child can tell her stupidity
it doesn’t exist
and she was just deceived.
