Symbolic

Once envoys carried messages, betwixt those Royal thrones of Kings. Scrolls of vellum parchments, all bearing wax insignia, impressed with signet rings. These symbols of authenticity, made safe passage, through far flung foreign fields. Where chivalry of gallant knights gave sanctuary, armed with swords and shields. While Kings and Queens spoke of those deeds, by proclamation, made them law. Preventing bloodshed needlessly, upon battlefields of war. Once, candle flames on red wax, and signet rings, were used in days gone by. Now those documents of state are stamped, by die and counter die. Where independance from the past, the President holds sway. This National Symbol of the United States, hangs proudly on display.
