Triumph After Defeat

Embark on a journey to the world within, Where you are the garden, the desert, and the ocean's kin. Light the torch, brave the Stygian Himalayas' daunting span, To find the lucent home where the day's light began. Drink deeply from the wine pot, let the feisty spirit rise, From the stalwart city's fermented berries, under open skies. The clouds of fallacy, they're set to burn and turn to dust, As lies melt away, in evanescence we trust. Stand firm with your spear, unwavering, staunch, and true, As cyclones of lust and deceit bring auguries anew. Monetary monsters howl, encircling with greed's loud call, A fierce fight looms, a cataclysm, potent and tall. The array we face may seem a chasm, deep and wide, Yet in this battle, we triumph only if our old selves have died. In the land of the sun, where corpses lay, victory is found, Resurrected by mercy's rain, in new life we are unbound. emm*
