Great Wall

Once upon a time Great Wall of China was created But there are conflicting stories about how it was generated It is known it was to be defense against Mongols Chinese dreaded Created by stones that unto barrows were loaded But the myth different story telling us is The story that history would dismiss That great dragon flew from aerial abyss With supernatural presence, glowing eyes and fearsome hiss The dragons’ serpentine body turned into the wall I would add to that that in doing so dragon swallowed his own soul Giving understanding to greatest continuity that of the soul Right before it turned into the Great Wall That is why the wall might be a magical place Seen even form the orbit in space It is dragons awe inspiring countenance But day there is no more war he will fly back to celestial place That day when dragons spirit will be free There will be justice in this recipe Yet none of the nations at war will be Hopefully it is also Earth’s destiny For if it’s not before long We destroy our world and our song Will be as empty as vacuum that between stars would belong And by glory of dragons’ soul this would just be wrong
