The Emperor of Love
Emperor of Love
The Emperor was passing from the way,
A beggar was sleeping on the hay.
Got up and went to the Emperor,
Touched his feet and
Asked for the blessing feast!
"How could you touch me,
You dirty , filthy moron!
Can't you see I am the Godly Emperor
Clad in the heaven robe!"
He got more ferocious and
Ordered the awaiting soldiers
"Throw him out of the city
No need to show any pity!"
Beggar was thrown out of the
Capital town
But he was not feeling down
" When one day
I will be the Emperor,
I will not show such temper!",
He resolved
------------------------------------------------
Thinking he went on the way
While passing he saw a saint
Sitting on the hay,
Beside his river stay
"Master,I am the beggar
Devoid of any Dagger and
Manpower
Devoid of wealth and treasure!
Still wishing to be the emperor!"
Master opened his eyes,
Just said a word "Love" and
Resumed his meditative state!
Beggar was confused and perplexed!
Was not able to understand
The sage's word
--------------------------------------------------------

He walked and walked
Reached the outskirt of a village
He saw one old lady was trying
To lift her water container,
But was not able to do so,
He went there,
lifted and carried it to her home.
When they reached home
She said in a happy tone.
" The way you poured
The kindness on me,
The same way God also
Pour the love of kindness on you!"
As soon as he listened the words
' kindness and love'
He understood the sage's word.
Though I do not have wealth and pleasure
I am blessed with infinite love treasure!
I will spent that and became the emperor!
----------------------------------------------
From that day onwards
He started helping people,and
Spreading the message of giving love.
He helped poor,rich,
Dark,brown,white.
He helped believer,atheist,
Liberals,rationalist.
He helped marchant,farmer,
Blacksmith,Toilet cleaner.
He helped men,women,
children,elderly.
He helped them all
Without taking any
Compensation or reward!

Years passed,
He became known
In the entire kingdom!
Tyranny was at peak
Emperor had became freak"
They decide to resist
All got gathered in the capital town.
Emperor ordered his troop
To respond fiercely in groups!
Not a single soldier obeyed or moved
Directly or indirectly
They have eaten
The fruits of beggar's grove!
The emperor understood the intention.
Decided to bow down the current situation.
He left the throne.
-------------------------=
Before leaving he asked,
"Who will be your next emperor?"
Beggar was standing there
Beside the lady whom he had helped
She raised his hand and said,
" This man!"
" This beggar?" Emperor jibed
"He is not the beggar,
He is the emperor of love!"
All shouted in unison
"He is our new Emperor,
The emperor of love!"
Beggar was surprised
His dream came true!
He achieved what he wanted
By giving unconditional love
Since that day he became
The Emperor of love
And continue giving
The unconditional love!

The End
