B Six One Two Forever

B Bewildered the Little Prince landed on Earth


S Surveyed the drought amongst plentiful riches

I Ignored the facades and gave earthlings a rose

X Xenial embrace warm welcoming and hospitable


O On the surface he seemed to be an outlandish soul

N Native of a foreign Universe that was called Love

E Enigmatic mysterious with a Three Petalled Flower


T The Turkish Astronomer married the Lamplighter

W Wedded they were under a Baobab Tree’s canopy

O Oblivious of haters they tied hands and good fortune


F From now on luminescent like Aladdin the cave gave way

O On its way to handing over the torch of naked freedom

R Relieved from oppression of thoughts action and feelings

E Elephant doffed his hat to applause of Boa Constrictor

V Vigorous in his passion he pulled the mask from our eyes

E Enter at you own peril if you dare to see the light of the truth

R Risk is not for the faint hearted but darkness not a good choice

B  6  1 2 is the name of Little Prince’s planet 

May it live Forever in our hearts and narration

Xenial stands for the ancient Greek concept of hospitality 

between hosts and guests from different cultures
