The Fate of Balloons - A Poem

Filled with some glasses of intoxicating air
The bright balloons staggered in the air
Dancing to the music of the wind
To the delight of the many children
Who, awed, watched from beneath.

The dancing balloons
Tossing like headless snakes
Would later crash to the ground
When the air they had swallowed
Becomes tired of dancing and go home.

Such is the fate of kings
Mere mortals. They stumble and fall
On the same stairs
They had climbed into power.
