The Story of One

This is the story of One.

And how he came 

To be.

He ran from Three,

and headed to the skies.

For One was free, 

at least, 

he had to be.

One reached the clouds,

and floated 

Five years.

He looked over the valleys,

and saw 

what made him 

Sick.

Seven marching a row, 

Eight standing still,

Nine obeying orders, 

and Zero,

at the root of it all.

One fell off, 

with nothing less than grace,

and knocked down Zero.

One whispered to Nine 

secrets he's seen.

Without a tune or beat,

One danced with Eight.

He chased Seven in sport 

and created a game

that soon Six joined inand dominated.

Five formed a new alliance,With Four striding with pride. 

Three surrendered.

They followed 

One's shadow 

hoping 

To be

the next

One.
