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
