Humpty Dumpty Nursery Rhyme

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings horses, and all the kings men
could not put Humpty Dumpty together again.



My Interpretation

First of all how did Humpty Dumpty get on the wall being so fragile? Humpty Dumpty was the only person on the wall we can assume. Humpty Dumpty was no egg but a metaphorical poem that must be understood on another level. It is possible that it was a political, economic and military system in Europe that fell apart. Humpty Dumpty may have been a king who rose to power and then lost power. Humpty Dumpty was a king who sat on a throne... this King had a great fall... the empire could not be restored because the king (leader) was fallen.

No Kingdom can stand forever as all fall sooner or later and is replaced by a new king or system. One system or way of thinking replaces the other as knowledge increases over time (technology changes culture and language)

If you can make a leader fall you can dismantle an entire organization.
