Ten years ago,
I miraculously walked into the heart of the jungle,
The jungle was once a peaceful home to my people.
The people chose me to go,
To run the jungle among people.
I had to choose a fine man as an example,
To accompany the throne through the door of the jungle.
Instead, the former king shook the jungle,
A fine flower did tumble.
It came down the window through one of the three pillars of the jungle.
He said "King! Take that fine flower and go",
The alien flower I didn't know.
From that flower, bizarre dusty air would blow,
It could kill me, I didn't know,
But the former king knew it all.
