historic dream

A new proud king of forest had new dream- dream of being in history, till books become history He welcomed next day's Sun with new vigor, made rules in jiffy ruling, ruled and rules had to follow sure clawed, hoofed, webbed, toed, heeled all to offer part of whatever chewed lesser things to give part of little haves earthworms, termites, ants millipedes, snails, worms should clear out, too soon king liked forest floor to be tidy clean trees of aged wisdom stood in stun silence feared to give advice so they learn to wait as king waits to learn

I love the subtle, yet loud satire in this poem, especially the ending "so they learn to wait as king waits to learn" very eloquently said and so true as well! Hit home for me. Be Blessed always - Hiba :)
