It's time. It's well past time.
Coup
It may be time to start comtemplating that which you promised
You wouldn't do. Two soft-handed half-wits, people who never
Have been to a battlefield, seen a corpse, watched a child
Without an arm emerge from a hovel which was destroyed,
Have had you assemble to hear them say that you need to be
"Warriors" (you weren't before?). You need to be ready to turn
Your forces on the people you're pledged to protect. Is that
Right? Think about it. Perhaps it is time to do your duty
To keep them secure by seizing these half-wits, ending their
Reign, though you've sworn it's not what you would do.
