20. After he had conquered

```

After he had conquered earth,

He discovered

That he had conquered nothing.

After he had conquered Heaven,

He discovered

That he had conquered something.

After he had conquered himself,

He discovered

That he had conquered not only much,

But everything,

Even the monstrous things that he thought

He would never be able to conquer. ```
