The Unconquered

|

I have launched campaigns to foreign lands for so long,
fought for these lands to belong to me
and every time I have failed
every time these lands fiercely repulse me

my strength has failed me, I cannot fight anymore
conquests and crusades, I cannot do anymore
I fear my lands are barren, unattractive
inadequate for the needs of those who are me

I shall then sit and hope,
that one day I will be conquered by another
to whom I will give tribute
and who will offer me but a part of their lavish bounty

Do not give up your cause because one day you will conquer after all.
