890. He was and he is
The world fellBeneath his sway.
Autocrat supreme
He became.
Now homeless he roams,
Friendless he cries.
He has now become
The Beggar-Emperor.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 18, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
Beneath his sway.
Autocrat supreme
He became.
Now homeless he roams,
Friendless he cries.
He has now become
The Beggar-Emperor.
