Our Future Secured

By: Dardanus Posted on: October 29, 2009

Tattered clothes

Vacant eyes

Hungry mouths

Oft despised

But not by you

Most tolerant of cities

Bastion and refuge

Beacon of hope

Lost and alone

Begging bread

Weary of living

Scared of death

Not so, anymore

Most generous of cities

Bastion and refuge

Beacon of hope

Loving Hearts

Feeding orphans

Giving rest

Instilling purpose

Praise to you!

Most noble of cities

Bastion and refuge

Beacon of hope

Happy hearts

Of children procured

Orphans enrolled

Our future secured

Thanks to you

Most splendid of cities

Bastion and refuge

Beacon of hope
