Men of Glory Who Stand At The Edge of Clouds



Men of glory who stand at the edge of clouds,
With your eyes fixed on the horizon,
What do you see?

Do you see a world of peace and plenty,
Where all people live in harmony?
Do you see a world without war or poverty,
Where everyone has a chance to succeed?

Or do you see a world of darkness and despair,
Where evil and hatred reign supreme?
Do you see a world where hope is lost,
And dreams are shattered?

I do not know what you see,
But I know that you believe in a better future.
I know that you are willing to fight for what you believe in,
Even if it means sacrificing your own life.

You are the men of glory,
The ones who stand at the edge of clouds.
You are the ones who will make the world a better place.
