With news of Kim Jong-il's death, it is widely speculated that Kim's youngest son Kim Jong-un will take power in North Korea. What made the dictator decide to pass over his two oldest sons? Well, things like the middle son's habit of writing poetry couldn't have helped.

Second son Kim Jong-ul had already drawn his father's ire for his gentle nature, thinking him, in the words of Kim Jong-il's personal chef, "no good because he is like a little girl." This poem, originally found by Newsweek, would seem to confirm the elder Kim's suspicions that his middle son did not share his aptitude for despotism:
If I had my ideal world I would not allow weapons and atom bombs any more.

I would destroy all terrorists with the Hollywood star Jean-Claude van Damme.

I would make people stop taking drugs.

I would even destroy the word "DRUG" to make people forget about it.

I would make everybody get good jobs.

Everybody would be happy: no more war, no more dying, no more crying.

Then I would make a rule (Do not believe in God.) God doesn't help and there is no God.

I would make people believe in themselves, and they would work hard for their happiness and success waiting in their future.

I would make the whole world use only one language, which would be Korean, and I would make all people have the same amount of money: no rich people, no poor people.

Only in my ideal world can the people have freedom and live very happily.
On the plus side, Kim Jong-ul did inherit his father's love of Jean-Claude Van Damme, so maybe his daddy was proud of him after all.

(Wondering what happened to the eldest son? His name is Kim Jong-nam, and he was considered his father's heir apparent until 2001 -- when he was caught in Japan trying to sneak into Tokyo Disneyland. He now lives in exile in Macau, so props to him.)
