In Prague, after hearing the mini history of the city and the nation of Czech Republic, and then looking up more history, here we go….
Wars. Land still scarred. Leftover fruit. Bad fruit. Darkness. Penetrating the city. The nation. Birthed from the kingdom of Bohemia, a foundation for the Holy Roman Empire. Power. Religion. Influence. Lands include Moravia and Silesia. The Golden Age of Charles IV. Prosperity. The Dark Age. Destruction. Encompassed into the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Prague once the capital of this great kingdom. First World War. Collapse of an empire. Emergence of the republic of Czechoslovakia. Betrayal. Annexation of Sudetenland. Its borders given away to Germany. Not invited to the Munich Party. Yet it was Czech’s land under consideration. Appeasing Germany left the nation’s borders open to penetration from the outside. Its borders given away to a hungry
maniac. Appeasement blew on the enemy’s fire for a new race, a new kingdom. The nation backed into a corner with nowhere to go. Lack of support. Forced to sign land over. Opening up a foothold that led to an invasion. Encroaching. He came. His army came. He made himself comfortable. The strategic need for Czech. Takeover of this nation. Second World War. Murders. Concentration camps. Liberation appeared. On the horizon came the troops. Liberation from one oppressor led to another tyrant. One of communism. Where privatization was eliminated and informants were planted. Rights seized. Corners turned. Informants to be found. Waiting like a lion stalking its prey. The nation housing the highest number of informants of all. Free speech allowed they say. Permission to speak. Words like a silver platter covering a plate of rats. Opening the mouth to a 
friendly neighbor. Disagreement. betrayal. Arrests. Show trials. Called that because it was all a show. Taken to court. Pretended to be given a fair trial. But verdict already decided. Made example of. Used as a public warning. To teach a lesson and instill fear. Paraded in front of others, mockery. Made to seem like an invite to justice yet all the while a coffin awaits you. Executions. Closing of the mouth. No invites to neighbors’ houses. Doors closed. Front porches empty. Trust lost. Fearing for your life birthing distrust. Like a tornado, the destructive spirit came. Spreading distrust throughout the land. Reign of communism. Freedom cries. Revolutionaries rising. Suppression. Fighting. Secret police. Blacklisting. Purging of reformists. Censorship
heightened. Soviet control increasing. Cries for freedom continue to ring. Louder and louder. Protests. A quarter of a million sent to prison, half a million leave. Velvet revolution. Jingling of keys in the streets. Unlocking of prison doors. Collapse of an empire. Governments failing. Like a domino falling. Crashing collapsing of communism. Iron Curtain lifted. Democratic elections. Freedom. Free for all. Conservative no more. Years of restrictions producing starving children. A gorging. Freedom hungry hearts. Eyes for more and more. Pornography everywhere. Filling the magazine stands. No longer have to hide. Out in the open. Sex rampant. Immorality flooding like a hurricane. Religious nation now the most atheist nation. Better cold than lukewarm. Wars. 
Land still scarred. Leftover fruit. Bad fruit. But, redemption is here. The color of your nation is blue. Kites once grounded are beginning to fly. Closed hearts softening. Trust returning. Hunger for more rising. Washing of the land in forgiveness. Healing of your nation. Atonement. Color of your land is red. Purity. Covering you like a blanket of snow. Color of your land is white. These are your colors. His colors for you.
