I Am The Son Of King Solomon Poem by Raouf Reda

I am Raouf the son of Solomon the son of King David.
Inherited wisdom that grows, till my happiness faded!

Long time ago my father prayed for wisdom.

And now I have seen all the miracles of life.
“Nothing worth” the fact the hurts like a knife

The price I have to pay for having a Royal blood
Seeing blind people around me who think that I am odd

I am Raouf the son of Solomon the son of King David.
The one who live in grief while people thought that he’s granted
