<DIV> <div>I have been quiet long enough, my friends. My lips can no longer conceal my frustrations. It</div> <div> seems that, since our 2 yr break a while back, I haven't been able to adjust to this 'new</div> <div> dream' that's been going around. I know I haven’t been quite so active lately but I have</div> <div> been keeping myself informed and it seems that things have even managed to get worse in</div> <div> the past few years.So...This is for my kingdom. I sort of thought it would be hard to find the</div> <div> words but I was fearful to find that they came to me quite easily. Of course I'm more than</div> <div> willing to answer any questions but I'd love to hear your feelings on the subject as well.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>What Dream Is
This? O4/08 – Xue XianXian<BR> <BR> What Dream is this that fades to black and dampens out the light<BR> of the Sable Star which lit our way when darkness gave to plight?<BR> The voices of the populace turn inward after years<BR> of petty spats and politics and poorly guided fears.<BR> The golden leaves have fallen and the lions have no bite<BR> and the seabirds have no songs to sing and so have taken flight.<BR> Our black star tarnishes the gold that we have sought, it seems, <BR> so, what voices then, are left to fight this battle for the Dream?<BR> <BR> What Dream is this that looks away and shudders at the sight<BR> of the Courtesy that showed
us how to treat our fellows right?<BR> With bickering, betrayal, and distrust that has no end;<BR> it awes me so that we still dare to call each other friend.<BR> Though some do not! They war and rend this kingdom in their wake<BR> while the enemy they SHOULD turn on is one they helped to make.<BR> Our differences are many but there is still yet time to see<BR> that through Love and Trust and Unity, a Kingdom we could be.<BR> <BR> What Dream is this that blocks the road and covers up the way<BR> of the Chivalrous who set our path when turmoil ruled the day?<BR> Both fools and knaves now wear the guise of Ladies and of Lords<BR> while indifferent and fearful ones hold still their tongues and swords.<BR> I point no fingers, say no names, else this be seen in dismal taste;<BR> but what King, or Peer, or Lofty Belt, would abide by such
disgrace?<BR> And some will say they never strayed or put the Dream upon the shelf;<BR> but to turn your head and walk away is to commit the act yourself.<BR> <BR> What Dream is this that bars our minds from all the tales and times<BR> of the Honor Bound who showed us how to rule our hearts and minds?<BR> Where are the Legends of this realm, how could they all have gone?<BR> Well they taught us many lessons we now cease to carry on.<BR> So our Heroes have all gone the way of Ragnar’s Fallowmoon<BR> to rest upon the Fiddler’s Green whilst we spell out our doom.<BR> So many could take up the flame and lead us from this night<BR> But we refuse to see the truth, defend our Dream, and fight.<BR> <BR></div></DIV><p>
