Standard

this one is my favorite

—

no kings wanted on any of the 7 continents

‘if Antarctica were music it would be Mozart.

art, it would be michelangelo.

literature, and it would be Shakespeare.

and yet, it is something even greater:

the only place on earth that is still as it should be.

may we never tame it.’

False Kings and Foolish Czars

The silence of time
Will eventually bury mankind
How many false Kings
And foolish Czars
Have destroyed our peaceful yards

How many crumbling bricks
Live in your castle walls?
How foul are the deadly waters
That fill your castle moats?
How many old bridges
Have you foolishly burnt down?

How many shallow graves
Do we have to dig?
Before cemeteries overflow
How many bloody floods
Do we have to endure?
Before the final curtain falls

Thank you, good people of Antarctica, for standing up in opposition to this tyrant who is attempting to destroy this country and world. We must continue to rise. Strong and fearless.
