No Respect
No respect--
'I get no respect', said the fool.
We remember the king for who he was...what he did...
I recall the stories of the clown more with fondness--
That he is made the object of gaity; he is the strongest of us
Phineas Gage was struck by the Fates themselves--
A metal shaft shot through his skull obliterating the frontal
lobes of his brain...he is one of the first documented cases of
a person with a brain-injury...
I remember him better than some lords of state
