\"I want,
I want,
I want\"
The King
shouted his demands.
The lackeys trembled,
stuttered:
\"Sire, what do you want?\"
\"I want
everything I behold,
all the land,
all water,
every piece of sky and air,
all the black gold,
no exceptions\"
A quick huddle,
an impromptu meeting,
lackeys said:
\"Sire, consider it done\"
As they were departing
one dolt asked:
\"..but shouldn\'t we do
public consultation?\"
The King turned around,
his voice thundered:
\"I am the State,
my wishes come with
\'national security\' embossed.
The people have chosen me to think.
I shouldn\'t ask them to do my job.\"
