A New Beginning

From times in past in kingdoms vast 
 Man has taken thou time 
Pandered to his own needs 
Making our world a debauchery 
Fraught with weight and burden
Man fail to cease the day 
Thou has seen the daughters of elysium stray 
As does the world decay 
 So haveth an appraisal see 
Out with materialism in time 
To preserve the world in the name of the divine

There is always something hopeful that suffices it's own tale. As if to slip back, and rejoice honor and struggles. Very nice, indeed! Thanks, Jan
