Let the greatest among you become the youngest.
And the leader the one who serves.
Thus we value the least.
With the lowest reserves.

I woke in the night feeling a failure.
But our religion congratulates success.
But values failure.
And does not  worry about success.

Four centuries apart, two royal Henrys.
Two Thomas’.
Two over powerful Henry’s.
Two honest to themselves Thomas’.

Who were the greater.
We know who were the lesser.

……

Thomas and Henry
One powerful one humble
We know the greater
