a memorial in time bring it down bring it down a testament to bravery bring it down bring it down a witness to chivalry bring it down bring it down a monumental beauty bring it down bring it down a statue turned gargoyle bring it down bring it down I'll bring it down this monument of words this epic work of art with hammer and chisel with my bare hands with my fingers torn with my heart worn I'll bring it down I'll bring it down Down to the ground This abhorrent thing grotesquely formed no longer adorned this thing of shame remnant of the game I'll bring it down I'll pulverize stone Only dust will remain of what I disdain washed away in the rain of the tears That you brought down.... Eileen Manassian

Not to mention the intriguing photos as well! Just as we can create and make well, we can destroy and bring hell. ~Laura

for me the word that pops out is "shame". When a person is shamed it seperates them from the person God formed them to be. We are created in his image and shame is a tool used by the deceiver to make us believe we are less than the dust from which God formed these temporary vessels we occupy. This is a powerful contemplative piece.
