No one knows
No mortal knows
The views of the world
Through Immortal eyes
A few historians have some clue
The Sleepers, are just that,
Asleep.
The kine are best kept that way,
All the better to direct the Dream.
Off to a new city
Off to build a new dream
From the ashes
Let Alexandria arise.
Alexandria burned
Rome faded
Constantinople fell
England lost her colonies
Now America,
What will happen here?
We will see
I will see
I will lead
Neonates scrambling for
Small minded goals
Must be guided
Gently
Subtly
Unaware of the shift
To something greater
Let Alexandria be built once more
With the nobility Rome lacked
With the unity Constantinople fell short of
With the endearment England lacked
With the maturity America can't even conceive of
All goals will become
Slowly
Mine.
All visions for the future
Gradually
Will be woven together.
Let Alexandria be like the Phoenix
And rise from the ashes
To be reborn again
The new Rome
The new London
The new Alexandria
In her latest incarnation
Denver.
I can't wait to meet you
I can't wait to mold you
I can't wait to build you up
Childling city
Gateway to the west
You will become
As my vision
The center of the modern world
