Uncomplicated beginning
From a simple upbringing
A capital of Five Hundred
Blossomed into quadruplets
Sprouting of branches
Bloated by heraldic zest
Drowning oneself
From a swept of luck
This you couldn't imagine
The authority it brings
People flocking in band
In just a snap of your hand
You so lavishly revere
The fruit of your labor
Even leaping the hurdles
Taller than a castle
Previous benevolence
Turned into malevolence
Everything is at your mercy
There's nothing in this orb
That you cannot afford
But look around and see
Your constant company
