Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Illusion
She looks out of her window
Dressed in a red ball gown with a tress,
A bow on her neck, bent over low
To contemplate the beauty of the view, less
She sees of depravity the better
As she focuses on ingenuity
Of man’s creation, Eifel Tower,
Where kings and queens have gracefully
Traversed, leaving an imprint
Of inspiration to walk in their
Footsteps unknowing of the pitfalls built
For sovereigns whose bitter
Pill it is to rule as others serve
Their graciousness!
What a cruel world she’ll leave
Behind, for people choose foulness
Rather than imagination,
Discipline, fortitude, wonder
Where all is achievable in succession
When the mind is expected to prosper.
