Where have the great ones gone, the proud display
Along the dimming hall of history?
They forged a nation true and strong and free,
And dreamt of us and lived for our own day.
But from our thoughts the great have gone away,
We lose them as we lose our memory,
And glory in the opulence we see,
No longer knowing how we came this way.
No, no, the great no longer catch the eye,
Instead the parties vie for thoughtless power,
Their leaders peddle policies and try
To win us with the baubles of the hour.
But some remember and sense the greats’ disgust
At how these little men betray their trust.
