Not the Throne He Anticipated
Callow
and young, a man begins his life
Thinking
great thoughts of empires and of kings
Of how
in a few years he will awe the world
With
the achievements of his mind and strength
The
books he will write must astound the age
His
businesses will corner out Wall Street
His
ships will sail the seas to India
His
planes will fly tourists around the world -
But many
years later
He
writes a doubtful check upon his bank
At the
hardware store for a toilet tank
