Statue
The colors long peeled from your plaster
leave you white like alabaster,
a relic of ages belonging to the past,
as in a hero's stance you once were cast,
staring blindly with sightless eyes,
and deaf to hundreds of years' cries,
a monument to what humanity lacks -
here - take a sledgehammer and pickaxe.
