Curse Of Empire (Inspired By A Cree Prophecy) Poem by Danny Draper

Curse Of Empire (Inspired By A Cree Prophecy)

Rating: ★5.0


When all the children mature in fear and ignorance
When all essence of nature is expunged and despoiled
When all that was good is unsound and despised
When all solemn trust has been sacrificed to avarice,
Only then will someone ponder those magnificent ruins.

What a strangling paradox! Man destined to exult over the ruins! A dismal but authentic prophecy beautifully presented in succinct form! ! This deserves a clean 10
