The Obelisk in washington, the seven wonders of the world. We all are this, forevermore.

Thin as paper, bright as day, shows you things far away

A shield of fabric in your hand, When skies weep, I take my stand. Above your head, I spread wide, To keep you dry from teardrop tide.

Brazil, pine, wal, and pea. Or what you call someone when they're acting crazy. Turn me around, then at the end add an 'e' and then I'm something not all can carry.
