Mixed Fortunes Await Thee
Dulwich College Beijing, Lee, Logan - 13
Can you feel the change, the adventures and stories that await?
It might be scary, it might be fun, or there might be none
The combo of the best, and more qualities to come,
It could be a bag of greatness weighing ten-tons
A little flicker to start it all, this is what we need! let’s just add some kerosene
It can all topple down it could go down a bin an empire that crumbles from within
A metropolis of greatness that could never even learn to walk
Maybe it’s as talking to a wall as hard bedrock
The greatest the world has ever witnessed, the boldest the world has met
It could need a morsel of forgiveness, it’ll be the trailblazer of all new things
The new residence of perfection home to all queens and kings
The uniqueness of it, the success, will go down in history
It is a gift for everyone who lives and it’ll grow like a tree
Branching out it’s magic to everything it foresees
All the others are identical this one shall not
Failures of others isn’t going to rot, it'll clot up all potential this one’s got
We’ll all try to help, we’ll all say or prayers, but this time it won’t cut it
There won’t be disappointment there won’t be a hall of fame
The result won’t fail, it won’t be excellent, it’ll just be same
An infinitude of possibilities, all yet to come, who knows what will be the next one.
All helping, all trying, all good doing humans passionate on a mission,
Still in development looking for what’s best say all the prayers for god to bless
The passion will find its way to defeat any pest, no matter how much stress it gets
The new journeys and adventures that lie ahead shall be more rewarding.
