Arcane Pedestals

Buried beneath the
Asphalt of soul,
Catapulted beneath sterile
Visages, where only the nothingness
Emerges,

Mocking hands of surliness,
Now drowning in the void of
Their ignorance,

As life slowly flinches and fades...

Buried beneath the asphalt of
Soul, yet read on the pedestals
                  Of all
The ones who add meaning 
To life...

Gone from the sight of deceiving
Eyes, yet fundamental for
Those who seek for value,

                 All
Written on arcane pedestals,
Buried beneath the asphalt of soul...


Everything achieved in life will no longer last at the end,
but the value created by these achievements is 
immortal for recreation...

                                                            Inspired by poem: "Ozymandias"
                                                            Poet: Shelly
