The Prince's Barn
I must tell you of a yarn
About the Prince’s barn
It sits on a hill
Overlooking an area where there was so much kill
Today it is a place where one goes to find peace
And think about their deceased.
Oh yes it was the Prince’s barn
And yes, I did say this was a yarn about that place that had so much charm.
It was during the holiday season
And for some reason
The Prince was at the barn
Checking on what was happening at the farm.
With decorations galore
He was trying to forget the centuries old war
So, the Prince had his glass of wine
And took some time
Before his enemy arrived
Whose only mission was to forcefully take without a buy
It was time to go he did know
Go somewhere
Other than here
To live a quiet life
with his royal wife
While traveling due to his enemy’s hell
He started to feel not too well
Which made them stop in London for a spell.
“Oh my dear Prince,” the British did say
“You do not want to go back there where the evil has settled in on this day”
“So where should I go when I feel better you know”
To the States the British told their mates
After he recovered, he took his daughter along with her mother
On another journey across the ocean hoping that this America will be the right potion.
But during this trip another sickness was written into the royal script
This time the daughter fell ill as a result to another nasty health care spill
Now this Prince hoped he was in the right
Turning his back while his country was in a fight
He saw there was a tremendous light
In this new world that gleamed with might
Years did pass and a large family did a mass
There were gains and pains throughout the years
And the family got through it despite dealing with tears
But what was the deal with this royal seal
So it started to matter after the evil one figured out what in life really did matter
They let go of the Prince’s land and there was no need for a military stand.
Despite this decision by an international ref happened decades after the Prince’s death
He must be up there watching from a far
The development of a reborn country healing from their scar
I sit here a descendent for those who had to escape
Hoping well things will be settled and everyone will have things straight.
I have to confess my life was altered by this mess
Once again it was a bug who attack me without even a hug.
Finding strength in my blood I know it was time to take on what?
Making sure my great grandfather who was a property owner
Was at peace in the heavens with the evil one who only was a moaner.
Looking to the sky I am not going to lie
Proud to be who I am
Even though America sometimes is known to scam.
I know we will come together like perfect words in a biblical letter
To honor those who suffered knowing their spirituality made them tougher.
Staying strong against the evil ones wrong
Standing tall in front of the crosses that were built as a wall
Remember it was in God who America trusts and money was the trigger to the evil one’s busts.
They had to cut back that made their power surges pack
Today the Prince’s land is now free
And that is for all to see.
