Dream coming true!

Half a century and plus kept, in print
Combining   illustration and text
Though went roofless, for decades
Floating Press now owns, edifies
Rejoice, on this watershed moment
       That equips, Press
       To come first in  the race.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
          A long overdue vision
          Ascends huge, appears real!
Shall we call it phenomenal or shall we call it co-incidence?
Age old media, a scaffolding of renaissance
At a flight's landing eve, extorts might, get a prize.
       Shine Press with more, vigor
       Sail fast, drop not thy anchor
Herald the national creed, development
The fast-track growth which all compliment
Stimulate, in citizens to unfailing the commitment
    Defeat arch enemy, the infamous poverty 
    Kill it soon, to make it only, a history
    Bury, the monster—for eternity

Blaze— voicing the voiceless 
Cross fertilizing  perspectives
As out of which born brightness .
    Deepen wave of democracy
    Oil the wheels of multi-party
    Harboring constitution and constitutionality
   Yes! To glitter equality!
          A long overdue vision
          Ascends huge, appears real!
Let your role keeps momentum
Advocating rights and freedom.
           Stand high among peers
          Circulate quick in the vessels
Miss you not, home and abroad 
With anyone being in accord
       Run to catch the  fate
       The ambition of Corporate!
Oh Press! Thy have a lot to prance ahead
Bonding teams,  keeping the bees
To reap more sweets!
To sell your fame oversees
To tell the world our great deeds
     A long overdue vision
     Ascends huge, appears real!
