The Ruin Falls
From birth, I never thought of being selfless.
Built castles on foundation of my pride,
The city was a reflection of my selfishness.
The atmosphere, full of Me fragrance,
My desires painted along the pavements to my castles,
Puffed chest, head held high as I walk,
In this city, Life seemed beautiful.
All I ever demanded was allegiance from the folks.
OH! My legal advisor, Mr. Brain served me full.
My comforter, Mr. Desire was excellent in his work.
My all in all, pillars of my city, OH! dear Pride
Made sure the city walls are firm.
My blindness seemed knowledge to me.
Couldn't look above the city walls of me.
Slept through the night with confidence on bed of lies.
Each morning, stretching hands wide like the birds in the sky.
Gazing to the City from the rooftop,
knowing nothing new would pop.
Until the ruin, my heart grew faint.
Crumbling the city down,
All that was sweet, don't have taste.
The light flashed through the walls,
the ruins brought a fall.
The pain was unbearable,
But all these you did to create a bridge in my heart,
A bridge from exile, to bring me light.
And in this, I bless you for the ruins fall,
the pain you brought is more precious than all gain.
