Fading Glory by Chocoman(m): 9:26pm On Apr 28, 2018 |
The crocodile Smiles at his tears And the leopard can no Growl, as he hide his courageous Face to the swampy creek in the Haven The shark swings Over the boiling water That was once peaceful He can no longer penetrate To the depth of the sea as he Takes solace on the surface of the water The palm fronts Reluctantly obeying The stormy wind that has Almost blown every roof naked The beautiful Couple, casted Net to the empty River that was once Seen as our modest Hero And the river Is now flooded With gas flaring That has burnt our Fishes to ashes and The burning gas dances To the rhythms of heartless Kings The sun... Now hiding His glory on Our glorious Land As he kisses the bare Foot of darkness, Oh sun! I call you to shine over darkness Now! Where is truth? Where is justice? And where is Service? Have they gone green? But the grasses are not greener No! Noo! Not at all... They've gone to dine In the parlour of the swampy Haven
