The Story

I am there, or should i say i am here. This had been so much a part of my lifelong dream, that the moment i set foot on these lands my mind has completely stopped taking everything in.
Pause .. It is cold and i am still back home.
My footsteps echo on the rock floors of this vast and magical square. "I am here" I tell my self one more time -hoping that maybe my mind will start processing again. And i see it .. Standing tall as it had been for the past century or so. As the smoke clears, i hear distant cries grow stronger.
Pause .. "Thank you for the tea".
Ah, where was I .. Yes, the cries are definitely growing stronger. And If you listen hard enough, you can taste the anticipation and excitement in every roar.
Every speck of dust tells the story of nation divided for so long, that its people forgot they were once united.
They tell the story of that very nation come together and fight the battle as one. They tell the story of a battle so fierce fought by one man against a million army men. They tell the story of that man's victory. Every ray of sun displays the secret behind that victory and they chant "A man united against a million divided ".
Pause .. *A sip of tea
The flags are raised. They soar high above the very foundations of this universe.
A nation rejoices while cowards and tyrants,who have tortured humanity lay flat on their backs.
The stairs rise high above us; I can not see where they end. The nation climbs one step after another. Signs are pretty good. 100 meters to glory .. 50 to your rightful place a top of the world .. 20 to justice and 10 to peace .. 0 You're there.
Pause.. we are still a  hundred million meters away from glory .. fifty away from our rightful place a top of the world .. twenty away from justice and ten away from peace. We are still here at the beginning. 
But we dream.
And as i sit here at my computer, I picture a time when this image -in my head- meets reality, in a life altering moment, that rocks the very foundations of the world as we know it.
But until then .. We dream .. we work and we never stop remembering what once was and now isn't anymore. 
Until then .. Lets all be safe and never stop believing.
