Ralph the Chosen Chief


He lost himself,

He was overcome

With astonishment.

He found himself understanding

the wearisomeness of this life.


The place of the assembly

In which he stood,

Was roughly a triangle

But irregular and sketchy,

Like everything

They made.


We have never had an assembly

This late,

But we need to put thing straight.

There must be no mistake

about this assembly,

no chasing imaginary.


The trouble is,

If your chief

You had to think

You had to be wise.


We need an assembly

Not for fun

Not for laughing,

And not for making jokes,

Or cleverness.


He took the conch,

The yellow and pink

To near-white and transperancy,

He faced the place of assembly

And put the conch on his lips.
