Poem
In the dark depths of ancient lands, where shadows whisper secrets to the night, lies a tale of a region forged by mystic hands, a pure product marked by "justice and fraternity." From the dawn of the shining royal reign, over the grand and majestic Tartar halls, no soul from outside the system's chain has ever stepped foot on this enchanted land. Masonry breathes through the Monarch's sigh, a subtle wind guiding those who were brought, masons, the sculptors of masses, standing nigh, keeping the throng low, their past forever fraught. Though the monarchy's crown does not adorn its brow, Romania reigns as an unseen monarch, a scent of power lingering, somehow, in corners unthought by the common. And so I ponder, in this twilight's gleam, what is patriotism in a masonic design, where lodges commence with a national dream, "Awaken, Romanian," a call so divine? For patriotism, ancient and true, a homeland is needed, a soil to defend, as Tudor Vladimirescu's words ensue, "The homeland's the people, not the thieves who pretend." Thus the patriot tends to the crowd, the masses, but can also be a thief, unseen in the light, he's not of the people, but one who surpasses, plugged to public wealth, in shadowy might. All began as patriots, a noble disguise: PNL, USR, AUR, FSN-PDSR, PNT-cd, UDMR, each claimed to cherish the people's cries, yet none brought the dawn, leaving dreams to despair. Patriotism, a starter pack for ambition's plight, one cannot skip the stage of care, building roads and bridges, shining bright, born to bring a throne to the masses' lair. Some proclaimed to live for your joy, a promise never met in the valley of tears, Romanioka, where sorrows deploy, since the great bring-in of 1800's years. Remember, rat, in your endless quest, all lands are ruled by the Monarch's hand, through satanists, his dark behest, but in "Romania," the worst of them stand. Patriotism, the greatest faith's replace, as chronic poverty, "traditional" named, in this land where shadows embrace, and dreams of betterment are forever tamed.
