Symbolized Mysticism Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Your Highness?

'Yes...
My devoted, chosen and special one.'

The moving vans have arrived.

'Moving vans?
What moving vans? '
You mean 'fans'?
What's wrong with the air conditioning? '

There has been a sudden and unexpected,
Shift in beliefs.
The winds of them have changed.
And You have been relieved of duties immediately.

'What?
What are you saying? '

I'm sorry Your Majesty.
I've been practicing my Spanish.

'Repeat to me what it was you said.
All I understood,
Was something about moving vans.
Now I understand you meant 'fans'.
But isn't the palace,
Fitted with central air? '

Yes.
And unfortunately...
Someone else has been selected,
To take advantage of it.

'What do you mean.
I am the ruler here!
My reign is to be 'forever'.'

I thought so too.
But things have dramatically changed,
For both me and You.
Your followers have adopted their own ideas.
And it seems a more symbolized mysticism,
Has become the new rage.
And the demographics...
Appear to be 'growing' at a faster pace,
In the Southern Hemisphere.
