Empire

Copyright 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Poem By Thomas Lam Hsi THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD...THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY...WHO ALONE CAN SAVE FROM Satan...who plays 'all' roles...the devil...the 'Lord Jesus'... the 'Father'...the 'Holy Spirit'...all 'Other Gods'...and 'alien gods'...HE...THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF IS FULLY GOD AND MAN...AND HE ALONE... IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD THE FATHER...and to an Actual Heaven! A dragon may have many heads, but only one soul, Before China was one great country, its many warring states took their toll, And a kingdom becomes a great empire, through its ruthless past, In the end, one great country is destined to last. In any war there are heroes on both sides, The effort of human lives rises to turn the tides, And a hero is revealed through the arduous journey of even a single man, And Heaven send its warriors according to divinity's plan. A man from Qin, Zhao, Qi, Han, Wei, Chu or Yan, Can have many disparate flaws, till his tempered soul brings forth his Master's plan. And legend tells of his footprints in the sand, As the monument he builds elevates his name throughout the land. An empire rises from beneath the sea, A land worth its measure, from whence the world is grateful, even for tea, China, once a land greatly divided, comes into focus a vapour now set to stone, And forever grateful, the people thank Heaven for its rightful throne.
