He Said In The Hall Of Leaders Poem by Clive Culverhouse

Ohbard and Pell
and to his student, Pell,
Ohbard said:

in the hall of leaders
mighty, impressively carved chairs were waiting
and soon, one by one, the world leaders arrived
and taking the next available throne, they sat
but the last leader to enter found no throne remained
mockingly, and all but one, the others asked
who among us is the most powerful
the one, remaining silent, stood and gave his chair
so that he was the one standing
all eyes thrown towards him
then tall, striding and loudly he boomed
let us begin our meeting
