A Poem Can Tell A Story. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - A Poem Can Tell A Story.

By - Ross Mabey.

A poem can tell a story,
Of a nation's former glory.
Those days when mankind's destiny,
Glowed so brightly,
Like the glorious rising of the sun.

Like so many nation's before them,
When it reached its zenith, it fell into disarray
Leaving its citizens bewildered,
Whatever happened to our dreams along the way?

Perhaps a nation, from time to time, needs to reassess it goals,
Looking for the pitfalls, greed and power struggles are usually,
The answer, that can bring even the mightiest nation down,
With none to commiserate, in tears of self pity, it could drown.
