King

When i was a boy

World was better spot.

What was so was so

What was not was not.

Now i am a man;

World have changed a lot.

Some things nearly so

Others nearly not.

There are times i almost think

I am not sure of what i absolutely know.

Very often find confusion

In conclusion i concluded long ago

In my head are many facts t

Hat as a student i have studied to procure

In my head are many facts..

Of which i wish i was more certain i was sure!

(spoken): is a puzzlement

What to tell growing son

What for instance shall i say to him of women?

Shall i educate him on the ancient lines?

Shall i tell the boy as far as he is able

To respect his wives and love his concubines?

Shall i tell him everyone is like the other

And the better of the two is really neither?

If i tell him this i think he won't believe it-

And i nearly think that i don't believe it either!

When my father was a king

He was a king who knew exactly what he knew

And his brain was not a thing

Forever swinging to and fro and fro and to.

Shall i then be like my father

And be willfully unmovable and strong?

Or is it better to be right?...

Or am i right when i believe i may be wrong?

Shall i join with other nations in alliance?

If allies are weak am i not best alone?

If allies are strong with power to protect me

Might they not protect me out of all i own?

Is a danger to be trusting one another

One will seldom want to do what other wishes;

But unless someday somebody trust somebody

There'll be nothing left on earth excepting fishes!

There are times i almost think

Nobody sure of what he absolutely know.

Everybody find confusion

In conclusion he concluded long ago

And it puzzle me to learn

That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know

Very quickly he will fight...

He'll fight to prove that what he does not know is so!

Oh-h-h-h-h-h sometimes i think that people going mad!

Ah-h-h-h-h-h! sometimes i think that people not so bad!

But not matter what i think i must go on living life.

As leader of my kingdom i must go forth

Be father to my children and husband to each wife

Etcetera etcetera and so forth.

If my lord in heaven buddha show the way!

Everyday i try to live another day. if my lord in heaven buddha show the way!

Everyday i do my best for one-more day!

[spoken] but...is a puzzlement!
