Peter Calvanese Jr. Poet Free verse

God In Ruins

A great man once stated, 
"A man is god in ruins."
I took this to heart
scribbled it on papyrus.

and put it in the cradling hands of Poseidon.
And thought to myself, 

"If someone reads this and gives it back to Neptune
How epic it would become."

I've been reading a lot of the Stoic, Marcus Aurelius and seems like it was him or one of his contemporaries ... they all said all the great stuff ... smile ... thanks for bringing your writing to PoetrySoup, Peter and I hope to read a lot more from you !!
