A tale of two nations

by Keg - Leo

There were two nations
Worlds apart
But on the same globe
Their stories
Their indivdual tales
Shall be told.

The first nation, a giant indeed
The dominatrix of this Earth
It strength lay in money and greed
Its culture slapped onto a burger carton
packaged
processed
With preciseness and speed
From the landscape grows steel towers
That reach high to the sky
Blocking out the sun
And within these towers
Men and Women 
Locked behind desks
Involved in a battle with the other towers
To make money
Raise sky high

The second nation, smaller indeed
a mere victim of this earth
Its strength lay in coping and survival
Its culture untouched by a burger carton
unique pure
A precious little seed
The Landscape still remains green
Only trees grow towards the sky
Praising the Sun
But no towers in this land
where men and women 
are locked behnid desks
to make money for the nation
Not that they would anyway

A tale of two nations
Worlds Apart
But on the same globe
