One River, One Life
One river, one life
Many civilization lies
Hope start with giving
In return life live here
Many communication lies
Peace start by talking
All life flourishing in
Business held in river bank
Barter, selling and profit
Then all other forms came in
Once simple life now complex
Need government to control
All walks of life, law exist
It expand from family to kingdom
Kingdom subdued other kingdom
Power comes from the tip of a sword
Of wisdom to wise men to own power
Years by years kingdom arise
From Kings to generational kings
History written in papyrus and scrolls
To inscribe bed rock and rock walls
The history of life evolve with struggles
The mind evolve so as people lives evolve
Now the power in the river becomes dry
All left is desolation, barren and forgotten
The once order, happy, beautiful now empty
All we hear is the wind that blows howling
The dusty place and rugged terrain remain
And the ancient pave path that led to nowhere.
