Works of Time

Conceived by a solitary mind.

Fulfillment takes, life, blood, sweat, tears given by so many.

But still the sacrifice of so many, does not secure the future.

For the onslaught of nature, unlike man is relentless.

And unlike man, nature has time, all the time in the universe.

A moment in time, are the works of man...

Peter Dorr June 30, 2013 at 11:39 AM True? We may know one day! Churchill's great speech 'blood, sweat and tears' apparently similar to another defender of freedom speech - Garibaldi's.
