Gold ring with a pink sapphire, Java, Indonesia, 8th-13th century AD

Cyber queen
adorned in the finest jewelry
#sapphires and rubies glistening
is again posting
for all her subjects to see
the height of regal majesty
in yet another ostentatious display
of royal hypocrisy

If only they knew the reality
of this bitter wench
trapped in a tarnished coffin
