Ruling nations, cultures it did wed.
Influence global, a legacy that stays,
Territories far, through changing days.
Imperial power, a force of might,
Shaping the world, from dawn till night.
History unfolds, a tale untold,
Empire's rise and fall, a story bold.
Many stories, of conquest and of pride,
Powerful forces, on each side.
Influence endures, in every land,
Reaching across, with an outstretched hand.
Echoes of grandeur, a past so grand.
