A Simple Story

And so the story begins with a great king of enormous wealth and power
Power so great, it seemed to get the king anything he desired
Yet, there was one desire which remained unfulfilled
The king’s desire for immortality
The king was not so naieve to think that he could live forever
But wished that he would be eternally remembered
One by one however, his attempts to be remembered failed
And his wife bore him a single daughter, and immediately fell ill after her
birth
As his wife passed away, he declared he would not love again
As time passed, his earthly monument showed signs of decay
Soon afterwards, he too showed signs of life’s corrosion
So he called forth all of the wise men in his kingdom to each bring their truth
and their wisdom
Each, however, failed to stand against refutation
As time passed, the king began to think that the immortal truth was an
impossible wish
So he borded himself in a remote wing of his palace with orders for no one to
disturb him unless they brought him an answer to his wish
And so there the king stayed, alone, waiting for death’s innevitable call
This was until one day a wise man came forth to the isolated king and declared
This too, in time, shall pass
