Pomp And Circumstance
By NanaBear
The pomp and circumstance of kingdoes nought but empty promise bring.For it is God who gives and takes,who life bestows and soul re-makes.The power claimed by mortal manby stratagem and devious plan,fades quickly as the autumn leafand brings him to despair and grief.The mortal glory of all crownsmost oft' the cries of pauper drowns.And gilded heads are held aloftby stiff-necked pride which angels scoff.'Tis rare the rich with open purse.More often do men here rehearsetheir vain excuse to not impart;belie themselves of little heart.Those lusting riches in this life,who trample men and cause all strife,must pay the 'Piper' for their dancewith empty pomp and circumstance. © on Aug 26 2001 09:52 AM PST 0 • 9
