Warriors, kings, and beggars they came,
every desperate word
hanging from their grasping lips in
fear-drenched speech choked and slurred.
A wish for a crown, or army,
or foolish fleeting love -
burned away in mortality,
as he watched from above.
But few knew, and fewer did care
who granted such wishes.
August and audacious was he,
and they, avarice corpses,
far too eager for destiny
to grasp their vain choices.
With flecks of green in blackened smoke,
lightning cutting the sky,
salt and water and gloom falling,
he rose to meet their eyes.
Kingmaker, wealthbringer, was he;
lovematcher, skinchanger,
dreambringer, foeslayer - the
great and dreadful giver.
Yet none save his maker knew him truly -
for he was Shenron the forgotten,
the titleless and the thankless,
who, to humanity and
all their innumerous
thirsts and hungers, could
do naught but watch.
