The Story Of A King: 01 - The Tears Beyond Walls

Rating: 5.0


Once upon a time

there lived a king,

nobody dared to rhyme

nor near him, sing.


People far or near -

those who know of Him,

Never had the guts

to ask a boon like thing.


Rude at heart as he

angry with anyone around,

Wise and famous fled

leaving sycophants only to surround.


His ears had sweet

notes echoing valour.

How the universe waited

to run along with his order.


Never did he know,

tears down the cheeks flow-

of the hungry, thirsty and needy

beyond His wall, the evil smiles glow.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A king of a state should have his own senses, eyes and ears to see and hear the sufferings of his fellow people. But rarely do they have it. And so follows the torturous life of the subjects beyond the high wall of the royal palace.
