A question I still ask myself today as I learn through trial and error. Something I think of from time to time. Maybe someone else can also relate. The short poem was originally written in 2019.

The Captain of the Palace It is pretty good to be kind to all. This sad story is about a king. Among the kingdoms of Uluru lived a generous king called Mustapha. This king was blind from the womb of his mother, queen Amana. No one knew any medicine man that could treat Mustapha. All the medicine men and Magicians from the Arab regions were hired by queen Amana and her husband, king Duggan. But none of these great spiritual men were able to make Mustapha see with his eyes, but there was a man they didn't seek his help, the wizard of Uluru. So the boy lived blind. However, his parents took him to the most prestigious school for his education. And soon he went to a great Arabic school in the North where he bagged a qualification in philosophy. This prepared Mustapha for his future role. His father, king Duggan died soon after Mustapha's graduation. So he became the heir apparent to the throne. He was crowned the king of Duse Karen in Uluru land as soon as he was inducted. King Mustapha was loved by his people because he was selfless. He was so kind that his opponents said he was too generous to a fault. He could give anything out to whoever needed his help without strings being attached. Commoners also drank from the same cup with him. Previously, the royal cup was a reserve for the kings and nobles. His chiefs plotted to kill him because he was blind, but there was a loyal servant called Barbara whose mother called Kuaka had ever served the king's mother, who also knew the secret of his blindness. Barbara not only rescued the king when he was taken away to be killed, but by the help of his mother's knowledge of wizardry he fought and killed the wizard of the spirit world called Zakat who was responsible for his blindness and finally the king's vision was restored. There are other short stories added here which show, loyalty, honesty, obedience and kind heartedness.
