Richard the usurper

Richard the usurper.

I don't like this usurping man
for me just an also ran.
His brother Edward the King
gave young Richard everything.

Land in Yorkshire, Gloucester too
much wealth he did accrue.
Then Edward died suddenly,
Richard acted wantonly.

“My brother a bastard his children too”
the boys Richard did pursue.
Lord Protector his new role
public opinion he did not console.

The boys installed in The Tower
whilst Richard planned their zero hour.
Lord Hastings, the elder boys coronation man
came to The Tower to unveil his plan.

Richard screamed ”off with his head”
in a couple of minutes Hastings dead.
The boys disappeared without trace
no order given to search the place.

Nearly two hundred years the bodies found
the base of the White Tower their burial ground.
No wonder Richard ordered no search
instant removal from his perch.
