by Joseph Bishara
What did the slave buy
with a king's ransom?
Filth, ragged and frayed.
When the king passed by
How he wished he were handsome
for the sum of the treasure he'd paid.
Was it loss of place
that gave him cause
to seize his garment to wrent?
Or the fall from grace
giving him pause
for the harm it surely had meant.
