Rise – dVerse Poets – Quadrille
Image: Honore Daumier’s painting “The Uprising” 1860.
The bakery opened with a flourish
and the baker said,
“rejoice, eat cake”
but soon he only offered
stale breads, yet
the people continued to pay,
timidly accepting his insult
without thought, but lately
I’ve been feeling that our
yeast will rise once again.

A great princess learned that the peasants had no bread, so she said, “Let them eat cake.”

People do tend to put up with a lot–and even normalize it–before rising to demand better bread.
