a reflection on my country, i didn't intend it but it turned out quite melencholy

THE LAST EMPIRE 

A quarter of the globe all under one nation, One country only once had
this station, 

Though the borders are shrinking, And power is waning, Over commonwealth
still, A monarch is reigning, 

An empire was forged with might on the sea, It was the last empire there
ever will be, 

Though colonies now, Are countries themselves, Forever within them, The
empire still dwells, 

Though the nation that ruled it was small and was slight, The entire
world it seemed would quake at its might, 

The empire is dust, It is gone from the earth, But the honour it won,
Still has its worth, 

One thing still remains to our once empire state, Our country is still
called Britain the Great.
