The Last Days
The words came slashing
Shortening the towering statue
With blows after blows
visible dents were made
To these lifetime stones
Strengthened with sweat and stress
Now crumbling from the swirling saliva
Raging from each forming words
Words from decades past
unsteadily revealing the weakened stones
embed within
