Empire of Pride

Many a pompous decide Many an empire of pride Aplenty of craniums be high And beheld among the sky What a cubit lengthen tall! What a tremor will pride fall! Fall and fall to rise no more. Many a pillar is built Beholding the priding guilt Meekness they tell thee farewell, In pride a fair citadel; How fortitude will pride be? With plenitude of safety? Hope on safety is no more. When old-pride is core and black Sure that empire wall will crack Woe becomes the bags of c'ment That build pride falling fragment; Rattling the earth to brittle, Empire's pride descend little And little to be...no more.
