I'Ll Be Right Back

Embroidery whose titan never gets credit An empire whose founder is long forgotten And exists only as an adage, whose tale relives Long forgotten history History that ministered hope to those dimming out Shone paths to those whose itinerary was threatened by Dark dusks and cloudy daytimes A magnate whose reputation was the Long run cup of poison, brewed enough to take his life An army general whose subordinates conspired and unseated Him, uncrowned him from glory with thorns A trusted cognate who is declared illegitimate at the reading Of a will We all are victims of our previous milestones misunderstood Fruitful efforts unappreciated and rightful places robbed Once we were at the pinnacle but we only stare up at it From the footstool we found ourselves suddenly The peak of one mountain seemingly the bottom of the other The tempting decision to drop off the pinnacle and grow wings To land on the top of Everest or the slopes of Aberdares Whichever the outcome let it be loud, You were once at the top, and you are back there!
