A LIGHT UPON THE HILLAtop a hill, a citadel stood
For a brief, moment in time It gleamed. A shining light of hope The chance of freedom from despair Its rooms filled with grace, dignity and laughter From inside, intelligence and wit touched the world History will mark these years And agonize over what came after When faith was lost in the land When the suffering of the many Came from the choices of a few And the apathy of others Helped usher in what was to come A world of demigods and destruction Lost was clean air and water The rivers carried the dead The poor, elderly and young suffered By the hands of the God of Greed All mourned the loss of what was. Those who’s hate and fear For a time reigned the land But, history will remember The shining light that once was Upon the hill. Before destruction came When the world still had a chance When peace was a possibility If, fear and hate were beaten And the demigods hadn’t won I mourn the loss already Before its completely gone My heart still hopes Because, some will fight For freedom, love and dignity And what the light upon the hill can be.
