Donnersurvivor, You ok bro? Eh, thats debatable. Someone will get it and I'm guessing it wont take to long, it will make sense (ish?) soon.

You may be correct. It's late and adult beverages, having stacked up a bit more by now, may be helpful in the deciphering process.

Nice poem.
I would guess the 2 eagles are pre communist Russia. The bear is communist Russia. The chicken of blue, white and red France. The monkey is Japan. The pearl is Pearl Harbor. The giant is the USA. The bulldog is great Britain. The two flashes are the nuclear bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The half century of cold is the cold war between the US and the Soviet Union.

Purdy much nailed it, The two eagles are the 3rd Reich and Poland. "Twice the sun sinks high to low" is the two empires who use sun metaphors falling after the war, the rising sun of Japan was replaced and the sun would shortly set on the British empire.

The people rest with their original comment your honor.

When I read your response KeithC, the Mark Levin show promo line, "We have now made contact with our leader in his underground bunker.... Mark Levin!" came to mind. I pictured you in a bunker, putting tiny toy soldiers in spots on a battle board, and by Josephine, you got it! Well played. Mark
