ETERNAL KINGDOM<\/p>\n

The kingdoms of men come and go,
\nThey crumble and decay into dust,
\nAll his towers of glass and metal,
\nWill eventually give way to rust.<\/p>\n

But there exists a great Kingdom,
\nThat stands beautiful and eternal,
\nIt wages war against the darkness,
\nAnd all things evil and infernal.<\/p>\n

It’s to that place that you can go,
\nIf you become a Child of the Light,
\nFor in that Kingdom there’s a city,
\nWherein there is never any night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
