Pearl

The Polynesian pearl of the Northern Pacific, A glittering paradise gleaming in brilliance, Set float amongst the oceans clear waters. A beautiful jewel reflecting in the different Shades of aquatic blues. The winds of peace blew in this tropical Nirvana, until the ruler of the far east, Thrust down his mighty fist of power, Against the foreign invaders. From the land of the rising sun, did The red dragon awakens, blazing with a Fires smoke, scaring a nations flag, For generations to come. It's scared wings as silent as a Tiger, stalking in a thickets tall grass, Of disbelief, it pounced without warning. The American flag did spread out in Protection, over top a sleeping harbor, Lulled into a dreaming state of world peace. As the eagle did lie at rest, the sons Of the red dragon struck, at it's farthest Point edge of it's nest. Setting it's kindling to burn and sink, Beneath the waters, of histories swift Currents. The bird of freedoms liberation, now Alert defends it's territory's, by talons Claws, and sharpened beaks bite. Driving the dragons brewed backwards, And reclaiming it's rightful perch, on The stage of destiny. But the pearl lies tarnished and broken, Cracked forever this once Eden, never to To be a child of innocence again. Only a white momentum stands to mark It's loss, she weeps the Polynesian princess, For what has been done can never be undone. A pearl necklaces of peace, torn apart by two Titan's nations hatred, now it is nothing but A broken strand and she is a prisoner, Caught In the choke hold, of power between The two of them.
