Day 207 "The Lonely Kings"

Some will gloat all their lives about what they have, what they could never possibly lose, and they will rest assured knowing that they have achieved untouchable greatness; but ignorance always has a high price.
All these empty souls that confirm their own worth by the amount of jealous faces they see frowning back.
This blue planet that finds itself so coated in green.
These divided minds that point the finger ever at another.
This world that fears looking itself in the mirror more than anything at all.
We can only ever rent this greatness, never to own even the bodies we claim as our own. The universe is an endless mirror that reflects back on us.
The grand universe is a reflection that both signifies our greatness and our insignificance, and all we ever needed to do was look into it with compassionate eyes.

There are those that no doubt believe that they are envied by the masses, that they are considered nothing less than greatness personified, that they are the Gods we could always only hope to ever be; but from the highest of perches kings fall the farthest, and a kingdom ruled by a terrible king has only the loneliest of thrones.


In a world where so many would-be rulers look down upon the people, they are starting to take notice that no one around was ever looking up.
