The Royal Dialogue Poem by vijay raghuraman

The whole world trembles at my sword,
Kings and armies wait on my word.
I possess every skill known to man,
No-one can defeat me, try if they can.

O sage, you are not even half my size,
yet they say, you are strong and wise.
What have you done that I haven't?
What can you do that I couldn't?

O king of kings, you have great power,
History will remember you, for ever.
Your valor has caused so much blood spill,
But, even for a moment, can you sit still?

Can you hear the sound of silence?
Or feel the grass grow?
Can you always be happy, like a child?
Even when left alone, in the wild.

You've conquered everything thats outside,
But can you win self, thats inside?
Your aim, my king, is not to better me,
Its to win self, and be the best you can be.
