The Story Of A King: 03 - The Royal Voice

Rating: 5.0


Like most powerful kings
He also spoke less.
Our king had a linen
for dialects foreign, alien
but spoke native on special days, to bless.



His courtiers were wise
He need not be.
They thought for him
and planned or did decide
everything, kept Him free.


He had all that to foster
a dose of marijuana each hour
to keep him actively forget
what he must not do or have sought
on this mundane life, and state's affair.


His voice appeared soar
dry and thunderous roar
when He spoke at will
to His men, on ant-hill
an appeal to serve and be sober.

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 nobody understands the dire reality that a king lives with.
The royal life has little to do with the sufferings of his people.
An addicted king rarely understands the reality of his people.

I wish these heads of state could see the reality of who they are and that they will only be remembered if at all by their lack of understanding and love.. Sad that people today behave like they're gods. Great continuation of the king's story. 10+++

when He spoke at will to His men, on ant-hill an appeal to serve and be sober. All these descriptions resemble our chief minister of Odisha, how strange is the poem published on the children's day on which he spent 200 crores for the AD of his popularity? 10++++ for the sharing.
