Poem For Zhuge Liang (Kongming)

"The Wuzhang Plains fell silent and a shooting star was seen

The great Prime Minister lies in bed clutching onto his dream

Struck by a terrible illness, he lay with his stomach turning

Unable to move from his tent with a heavy heart full of yearning

Seeking to restore The Han on behalf of his late Lord

The Emperor of Shu of which The Prime Minister adored

Many thoughts rushed through his mind like the Yangtze River

The thought of allowing the enemy to win made him shiver

He needed one last masterful plan that would let his army retreat

He ordered that nobody could say a word, he needed to be discreet

A wooden statue was made and dressed in his Taoist robes

It was placed in a chariot and pushed along the dusty roads

Sima Yi caught a startingly glimpse of his Earthly rival

Sending his confused mind deep into a chaotic spiral

A master of the arcane arts, Zhuge Liang is no ordinary man

Could this be the work of his magick or another genius plan?

There is one thing that I will never need to ponder

We all know a dead Zhuge can scare away a living Zhongda!" -

Lord Josh Allen
