It Happened overnight

Most favored of the twelve
at seventeen the future promising
dreaming of his life mission
envied and scorned by his own
OVERNIGHT, freedom stolen
Sold to a far land!

In a foreign land favored at work
blessed and successful in all
lust in the master’s other half
tempting without success, lying
OVERNIGHT, freedom snatched
Downwards to prison!

Favored in prison, his wit tested
a dream, two dreams, interprating
Two years later, a dream by the ruler
His gift and wit put to test
interpreting the dream with wisdom
OVERNIGHT, freedom restored
Elevated to the highest office
Mighty and powerful!
