He was new here, young
no threat, he was allowed
to lend a hand
To survive, he had to be worth
himself and get to know
the people in this country
There was no path mapped out for him
Nobody expected something from him
Soon he started his own business
He became rich because of the stupidity
and the self-interest of the regents
He bought up surplus harvests
and built expensive barns
to safeguard the food
against rain and vermin
He was indispensable, an authority
strengthening the dynasty
His daughter became Queen
