A Simple Story - Rich Aucoin
And so the story begins with a great king of enormous wealth and power
A 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 naive 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
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 monuments showed signs of decay
Soon afterwards he too showed signs of life's corrosion
So he called forth all the wise men in his kingdom
To each bring him a truth from 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
And so he bore 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 inevitable call
This was until one day a wise man came forth
To the isolated king and declared
This too one day shall pass
