FORGOTTEN CITY THAT WAS PERSEPOLIS
Archeologist Paleontologist
Historians labouring
Digging excavating in the
Sweltering heat
From head to toe
Covered in sweat
Surrounded by a
Whirling sandy mist
To reveal & to show case
To the world
Ruins of the mighty empire
Forgotten city of Persepolis
As the ruins lay scattered
Miles around on the
Royal dusty ground
Imagine they could reveal
The secrets of
What went on behind
These Magnificent
Palace Walls!!!!
Slowly & steadily as
The ruins are pieced together
A beautiful vibrant city
Comes to mind
Ruled by benevolent
Great Persian Kings
With an iron fist
And a velvet glove
Bringing Peace Justice
Tolerance to all of
Human kind
Vive la difference
C’est la vie
Persia was an empire
Strong & free
Proudly displayed it’s
Unique Kaleidoscopic tapestry
Persepolis was once
Such place
Xerxes Darius Cyrus
It’s palaces did grace
What luxury!! What opulence
Instead they traded these by
Following the Pristine Message
To secure Ahura Mazda’s Grace
Before the Great Call comes
The sunset gleams
Just once I would like to
Lay my eyes & tread
The dusty Royal path
Of this beautiful city
By fulfilling my
My life long dream
Visiting the land of
Our forefathers
The Fogotten City that is Persepolis
