The parents of the Great Leader
are always common people
or the offspring of a famous family
The storytellers know that
so they don't nag
about the facts
They took the story
of the greatest king
in history: Sargon
"the legitimate king"
even though he came floating by
anonymously, in a ark of bulrushes
That's a good beginning
especially if you add family
- not his grandfather Joseph
but Aaron and Miriam, the leaders
of the men and the women
longing for another land
