Rise or fall
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Why do nations rise and fall,
Inspiration, hears the call.
Others may copie some,
But where do ideas come from?
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
Some decline, others grow.
But when a nation sells its soul,
Ties are cut. It loses its role.
It's no different today,
A new world order is on its way.
Let's hope it's not ruled by greed,
The roots are deep,
We need new seed.
