From Babylon & Kemet…
…to the Levantine-Phoenicians.
From the 3-Kingdoms & Nubia…
…to the Hyksos and the Romans.
From Persia & Hellenistic-Greece…
…to the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans.
What do have in common?!!!
From Imperial-Japan & the Mongols…
…to the Crusader-Kingdoms & the Hun.
From Holy Roman Empire & Andalusia…
…to the Qing-Dynasty & Great Britain.
From the Zulus and the Portuguese…
…to the Gulf-States & the Soviet Union.
What makes them similar?!!!
They all thought they’d never end…
…they were blinded by their Power.
Not caring to accept that for every Empire…
…there’s an Expiration: that is a Final-Hour.
Their beginning like Spring…
…Young & hopeful to survive.
Then, like the Summer…
…at its Peak-Of-Might.
Then, it comes Autumn…
the Imperial-Decline.
Then, like Winter…
…ending its Sight.
All-Empires fall, both Great & Small…
…All-Dynasties fail, they all grow stale.
