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
