See the Hegemon Parade series here
They rose like mountains from the plains,
Built towers, fleets, and global chains.
Their banners flew as trumpets screamed.
Of lasting empires, people dreamed.
But power wanes when rivals stir,
And debts mount high, as leaders err.
Empires once proud, begin to fear,
When real contenders draw too near.

Babylon feared its eastern threat,
Yet made sure, it’s gods needs were met.
Its walls were thick, and its gates rose high,
But that same night, Persia terrified!
Persia was mighty, but feared the West,
While kings and nobles lived life in zest.
Attacks on Greece left lots of debt,
But Greece bounced back, Persia’s regret!
Greece, divided, feared its own,
As generals seized private thrones.
When Rome advanced with steely pride,
Greece splintered. Its dream …then died.
Rome feared its savage border rim,
When Barbarians grew fierce and grim.
It taxed, it purged, it lied, then killed,
Till by Rome, Roman blood was spilled.
Britain feared ‘colonies American’.
To safeguard its rights, it crossed the ocean.
Fractional flames shrunk its empire.
Then global schisms left it dire.
One hegemon now rules, yet not for long.
Its Grace abused, and policies wrong!
It fears the East; threatens allies,
Its founding law, leaders belie.

We ALL now see the telltale signs,
When, for glory days, hegemons pine.
Then they wane, blame, bluff and bully,
Often acting out …with furry.
When over their shoulders, hegemons peer,
Their knees then shake, they react in fear.
Yet as hegemons, the continue to act,
Till the day they learn, their role’s been hacked!
When God’s Grace to hegemons will have been spent
To history’s trash heaps, they will be sent!
Heaven’s command won’t be ignored:
Now bow before The Sovereign The Lord!!!
