SPEAKING OF SAGES

When keeping watch over empty spaces -
Let riddle and rhyme be a sign of the time.


When thrown across many mad generations -
Let puzzle and pun help the emperor's son.


When meeting with those who forfeit forgiveness -
Let metaphor be the heart of the matter.


When sagely reigning in power and pain -
Let allegory clothe both former and latter.
