(Boastful or inflated talk or behaviour) There was a hall, Magnificent in structure, Grand in his physique. Other walls get jealous, Built to withhold a greater crowd, His pride grew stronger. Who is greater than me? He often mock other halls, For they are used as overflows. A turn of the event; At the master's request, Renovation is needed. The great wall turns desolate, Men at work - do not enter, O Great hall, where is your glory? Though his trial endures for a while, He's come to realise; His glory comes from the architect. His glory was never his to take, He can be filled or emptied, Just as the master permits. A great or a small hall Of what use would you be If no one can enter at all? ∞ ∞ ∞
