Belteshazzar
Wise men of flesh who know in the bone
the King's dream before ever uttered
live out lives an unfettered way,
hearing a secret it's rumoured he's muttered,
"Preserve me, and so, shall you live another day."
Nebuchadnezzar
In times of trouble success is fear
sent by the Ruler of a mere Earthly sphere.
For a kingdom's price is not the value of its gold,
but succession's split to a reigning fold,
and who, by delicate tongue, may bend its every ear.
N.B.
Daniel 2, 2
