12So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and
folly;
for what can the one do who comes after the king?
Only what has already
been done.
Cynicism reigns
In the disparaging mind
That fails to see hope
With extreme boasting
There is madness and folly
It’s perverted praise
What about the king
He’s essentially the same
As the foolish man
All that a king does
Does not change his personhood
Just experience
Never the same thing
Done today as yesterday
It just looks that way
The king cannot know
The life of the common man
And vice versa too
The king did it all
Everything a king can
do
But not what I do
