Oh Great One
Oh great one lost in the wilderness,
the story of legends, paintings and song,
your land diminishing
like that of your forefathers,
seeking refuge at a tiny home in the woods.
How many times have you passed unnoticed?
You roam without a care - or so it seems,
your kingdom for some scraps of food.
Oh great one,
how far you must roam to find sustenance,
how sad to be reduced to garbage picking.
Such majesty fallen,
Where will you go?
What will you do?
Oh great one...
if we could only turn back the hands of time,
if we could only give you back your home.
