Wisdom of the Youth
Listen to the story of a wise man's challenge
With his king who was afraid of any tiny change
In the realm of stupidity that its king had become old
Grew a young lad who had nothing but to be bold
People kept talking about him and his likely fate
To find his head one day the sharp blade's mate
To make a deep change the lad left his clan
A young boy dreaming of tomorrow with a smart plan
Well-learn'd boy 'bout the dislocated bones
Gained the name of a doctor among all the crowns
Life's nature awaiting the right time helped him
The way a shrub grows under the mellow sun's beam
One day when the king's daughter fell off a horse
World changed the king's happy life and lovely course
His days turned to night, nights to day
His food tasted tasteless as a pile of hay
Desperate king looked for the boy here and there
The pain of the dislocated pelvis was hard to bear
A week or so the boy was present before the king
To cure his daughter's dislocated pelvis caused by a horse fling
The boy had the right cure for the bones, but
Could be offered under one condition, no fight
The king accepted the condition whatever would be
To set his daughter from that killing pain free
The boy asked for the horse that had caused the pain
And stopped feeding it food for a month plain
No food, no water, the horse became too thin
Having no clue made the king so keen
Summoned the lad hastily again to his court
To explain the wisdom of his actions to his lord
The boy chose silence to words to explain
Asked him to sit and behold the right claim
Brought the king's daughter and set her right
On the thin horse's back and fixed her tight
Mightly tied her legs together under the horse
The moveless girl out of pain shouting froze
Kept feeding the horse plenty of water and food
Making it larger and fatter than it no more could
The bones arranged and the pelvis healed
The boy invited by the king, dearly mealed,
Asked for the favor that he had done to him
By any reward offered by a king would satisfy him
The lad asked for a land accord to skin horse
And the king gave it to him with no force
Cut the horse's skin narrow in a line
To occupy a large land with water fairly fine
Invited his young folks to be his mighty force
Raised, sheep, goats, camels, and a favorite horse
Enraged with the dull tyranny of old kings
Engaged with a bald campaign against many old beings
Erected a strong realm of love and freedom
That was governed by young flexible wisdom.
