Hail to the Chief

Saw his shadow walk across
the river I heard the roar, as
the people called his name;

I also heard cracks as ice split,
saw his shadow drown alone
in floes of driftwood rhetoric;

Saw the disappointed masses,
turned their back on a leader
they said could walk on water.

Hi Oskar. This sounds like the start of something epic. It is very engaging and I'd be interested to hear what you have planned for it. It never ceases to amaze me just how much can be said in so few words and just proves to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that words are the most powerful thing at our disposal. Good luck with this. Keep us updated.
