Claim the Pedestal

Today, tomorrow and the day after,

A river flows and its currents gather

Aspirations of a rising giant.

Stacking them neatly like logs of timber.

Adrenalin is pumping, hopes are high,

A young nation sets her foot on the starting line.

All purposes are one as the rushing waters

Digging for that one piece of the puzzle,

Till we bind all our essences together

And simply put to rest every hassle.

Today, we make a decision to stand,

Tomorrow, we run to defend the stand,

The days after, we’ll claim the pedestal.
