The Fifth Brother

The story from Arabian nights and its epitome,
life’s frustrations under our unique heavens dome.
The hero of the tail in luck of a modest legacy,
hundred silver coins from destinies hierarchy.
The brilliant idea to invest in fragile glassware,
taken them to the market to gain from the fare.
As Merchant sitting in the hot sun and musing,
how to pyramid the profit to flow ever oozing.
Two hundred with the first turnover, then four,
Allah wills grand me all and more.
A fine house with eunuchs and horses,
social prestige and influential sources.
Calling the most expensive marriage broker,
for the prime ministers daughter bespoke her.
Indeed all imagination until all length,
in that haughtiness completed strength.
The festive celebration in excellence performance,
bride and groom in gorgeous dresses accordance.
The opening dance a prestige’s protocol,
big steps which need to be floated on.
Striking out in his reverie, kicking fragile wares,
destroying his stock in short shattering affaires.
Make believe and its immortal confidence,
destiny and a muse in sympathy of providence.
