THE WISE KING
Elvis the King
acrylic paint on canvas by Robert Margetts
Long time ago there was beauty and balance
in the seas and in the air
on the land and below the ground.
Animals tall and short
strong and weak
crawled and walked
flew and swam.
And they gave way to Man,
a creature of superior intelligence
and compassion and understanding for all.
He took and he gave.
He judged and ruled with fairness
and the animals were happy
for their new King was wise.
Then one day he discovered oil
and he became very greedy
bought a gun, and killed them all.
