Birth of a Nation; Golden Child born from an ideal.
She was beautiful once; Hope? Let us see.
From the shiney pennies of the old Nation she sailed in time.
Once the underdog with high ideals and freedom.
We may see her rise again in the light to the dark.
Not doomed in the present that she sails on
across the cliffs of time.
On the eve of destruction she may yet rise
from the Phoenix in her day as of the past.
Hopes she possessed in her younger days.
She has always risen to the occasion but
how many lives will it take before the hour
glass runs out?
We will see, We will see, it may take another
try. The fall may not slumber well.
Born from the ashes of nothing she rose to
power fast and furious only to be on the
edge of her dying destruction. She finds
renewal and rebirth in time. How long
can it continue again and again?
In her own demise she still hopes for more.
Our Golden Girl may not recover again
in renewal as her past has shown.
May we hope for the best as of old.
There is always the slight building of a
hope before the dying.
She is disintegrating like acid can.
Maybe she can be netted safely–perhaps.
As is said, “Nothing lasts forever especially
a good thing”. It’s like rust from the heavy
rains. Can we stand the furious tsunami’s
yet to overtake this beautiful Nation once
Golden? Again we say, “Time will tell, Time will
tell”. Don’t wait too long Golden children.
Dying nation will give up your dead
and be clean again someday. A matter of
time.
May the darkness not shine so that we
can see the brightness peaking out from
evil which will breath its last dark breath.
Behind in the shadows of her kings, princes
and would be policies will come the real
truth yet to be told as of the old yarn.
It will float to the surface and we will
find what is shiny underneath and hope
abounding for those who are the meek
of heart as of the old code and word.
Dooming her fate to the destruction told
of the old ways—Maybe? Maybe?
Let us wait and witness to her fate
which is coming to us daily in the
light of the web of fate.
She will show her dead and we will
open our eyes to this show from days
of old. She will live again during a new
day chosen yet.
Longing that it will not be forever.
Nothing really lasts forever only time and the
stars and the Old Eyes of Wisdom shiny
from the Universe peaking out on mere
mortals.
Will the Future State be what we
hoped, paid for and more, good question?
Will the nightmare eventually wake us?
Optimism is a good thing and still in
vogue.
What the ages wanted for its
children of the beautiful
nation?
Or will it be the disappointment
of the mortal?
The Immortal looks on with eyes
that shine with a glimmer in it’s
mirrored countenance.
Children cry for now but your
tears will dry someday when we
see mortality of a dying breath.
From the beautiful cities we have
erected but will not be the same for the
children of the future. Mystery! Mystery!
Is that hope I see peaking out
from the dark blanket that was
imposed? Mystery! Mystery!
Excitement, optimism and trust
I say is an answer to the puzzle.
