A/N: Just some philosophical fluff this time. I've got no idea why I keep writing them in English. Maybe because German language isn't as easily to shorten. ^.~ One thing: Believe me, I know how hard it is to comment on poetry, but PLEASE at least tell me if you DON'T like them, okay? Because in that case, I'll stop bothering you.

Disclaimer: Here, I need one, so – as we all know – Estel belongs to Tolkien, of course. Just like his destiny.

thus grinned

Estel the child:

once I'll be king

then I'll decide

and I will make

that everyone

who'd like will get

a chocolate cake

*

thus spoke

Estel the youth:

as king I will

abolish hate

and I will make

that love between

all different folks

shall not be fake

*

thus swore

Estel the man:

as king I can

think of some laws

and I will make

all people free

so no one's life

will be at stake

*

thus vowed

Estel the king:

now I am king

and war is done

and I will make

in all my lands

a lovely peace

to overtake

*

thus laughed

Estel the wise:

now that I'm old

I'm not quite sure

what's yet to make

except – maybe –

for my beloved

a chocolate cake
