The Mansion

THE MANSION

        Mr. Philip wanted to build up a mansion.
       Hindrances put him in adverse situation.
         In short period his dream turned an ILLUSION.

       Construction continued from morning till dark dusk.
       Rusty dust whirling, each worker was on thick MASK.
       Not at all a matter of joke, but too tough task. 
 
         His selection of persons to carry project
         was completely wrong, basically IMPERFECT.
          Plan of building was made by a FLAWED architect.

         Promptness of Mr. Philip lacked reality.
          Materials supplied were of poor quality.
          Supervisor did not even check quantity.

        Shortly FAÇADE and parapet were BROKEN.
       Roof, walls were CRACKED, and building collapsed on one morn.
       Mr. Philip got terrible shock and his heart was TORN.

This is a bit eerie when I read it, in light of the recent building collapse in Florida. Well penned, well thought out. Congratulations on your placement.

Read my new poem tainted vision. I have tried to answer your question on non existence of God.
