LOST, FOUND AND REDEEMED

In a valley, lost to civilization
grew a society so perfect,
mankind could not conjure its realization.
It escaped all subjective direct.

Perfect virtue, constant consideration.
Maximum freedom, power dispersed.
Objective standards in sovereign nation,
insuring judicial prevail, never cursed.

Such a creation drew divine attention,
an amazing achievement of human spirit.
As cupidity spread in its direction,
’twas rescued to Heaven, where none would fear it.
