For Those Who Wonder if

 

For those who wonder if

There is a problem in old stories

That only those with blood

Can advance

You are the monarch because the blood

Of ancient times

Of your unknown kin

Goes through you

 

And that’s it

The magic works in you

You are on the way toward

Predetermined greatness

 

And those of us with water in our veins?

We can read

We can live in hope

But this is not for us

Our bloodless stories will not

Turn into magic

 

Except they can

 

Read the stories, like them

Don’t worry about unmatched inheritance

From Hemo the Magnificent

We have a better calling

Of a truer generation

We are here

We are now

 

We inherit the wind and the whirlwind

That is a real way

We make the present world

Of our lives

We are now
