In the presence of kings I will declare your will.
For your commands have been my delight.
We only know ourselves when we are asleep, still .
When we realise truth does not lie in might.

Who is greater the one at table or the one who serves.
Yet here I am among you as the one who serves.
We like to think the mighty gets what he deserves.
That we the lowly have greater reserves.

But in truth we are two persons .
One intent on reaching ever higher.
Selfish , angry and everything worsens.
Or content , humble , a kind of lay friar.

Do we have the courage to stand apart from the herd.
Will we ever, at any cost, have our true  voice heard.

……..

Where truly are we
Is it when we are awake
Or when in deep sleep

……..
