Poem

Great walls rise against the dawn
Sun settles all while moving on
Smooth surfaces stand majestic tall
Cast a shadow low but not for long

Stones cut by oblivion's first glance
Carved, intricate, resembling man
In their design, shaped and created
Generated by the silenced sentient
Creatures that crawled up from the mud

Now builders, the lot they have become
The blocks of life still fragile to the touch

Great walls rise against the dawn
Sun settles all while moving on
Smooth surfaces stand majestic tall
Cast a shadow low but not for long

Structures perfected over time's meanderings
Hard work comes at a cost to love and family
Dirt fills in the empty spaces left behind
Life is something you can not unwind
 
Ideas become more solid than concrete 
To flow like liquid rivers on to city streets
Built to last until they crumble 
Replaced there to evolve again forever

Glass and metals reach the sky high rises
In dimensions dictated by color and design                
Children inherit empty spaces now vacated
With a purpose decided by some future generation

Empires fill in the void of the survivors 
Not satisfied to simply be alive
Every stone must be inspected for a flaw
Given to science as every castle must be taken down
Handed over to someone sober

Archaeologists know best on how to fix the past 
Every castle must pass the test of chance
With the power of history's command at hand
For a second chance to get it right

Workers find perfection in transforming rocks
Illusions created as living spaces preserves imagination
Homes become fine art of beauty for the future
Structures define us even before we are born

Great walls rise against the dawn
Sun settles all while moving on
Smooth surfaces stand majestic tall
Cast a shadow low but not for long
