Beautiful Waters

The golden beaches lay in silence
Warming the atmosphere around
On this land routed in balance
A gem in the place hidden, unfound

Cool waters pushed to kiss the shores
Blue sky’s a youthful eternity
A sun that rises eventually falls
Thus it was written as destiny.

Waters turned fierce and unwavering
The sky blackened with the news
The land of beauty alas was taken
The land of great success, they lose.

The beaches bleed, screamed with anger
Heat choked around the environment
Dishevelled became this plunder
The treasures ransacked, was evident.

Thus they lost the place, this terrain
In Andalusia, they lost it all
Left was the ruined corpse of Spain
A sun that sets eventually falls

How did such circumstances take place?
The love of wealth, began the corrosion
Hence it became their final disgrace
When they became, the foam of the ocean.

Masha’Allah, good artistic imagery interlaced with reflective words!

…Chronicles are plenty, which narrates the rise and fall of nations…when the masses churn their attitudes in arrogance, and become greedy, then whereof well being, in general?

Oft pain result because of human attachments with the material world…loss of wealth does make us grievous, and love of wealth makes us restive, and the desire to hoard more never ends…
