Nothing Ever Last

The World's great Empires have gone to decay They rose and they fell and each had their day And one Super Power rise as another does fall And the small will grow great and the great become small. The Pharoahs and the Aztecs and the Incas as well And the all conquering Romans too had their glorious spell And the Spaniards and the British of the recent past Were known to be great Empires but they too did not last. The Soviets and Germans great power did command But their demise not that hard to understand Since great powers they come and great powers they go Though nothing lasts forever as history does show. Genghis Khan and Napoleon and Alexander the Great These all conquering heroes had their use by date Though in the history of the World their names living on The Empires they ruled over like them are long gone. Un-rivalled for supremacy as the World Super Power of today By far the most powerful Nation is the U S of A But as history does tell us nothing ever last And one day they too will be a power of the past.
