To see their

Our Monuments Are Ours.
With precision we carved out the sand
here at home, down on your cursed land
We defy you to try
You will surely fail. Why?
We used nothing that looks like your hand....

Foot Prints
Bronze- Walking sands on shore,
breathes in the salty lagoon.
Sullen foot prints died...

The Lord did carry
black and soar feet to skies as
Sea monuments cry.

Ideals
Snow-covered mountains,
ancient monuments,
a north wind that nods to us,
a thought that flows,
images imbued
with hymns of history,
words on signs
with ideals of geometry....

Divided We Stand
Ravage our monuments,
empowered dissidents.
Endless entitlements,
from spineless governments.

In this era unplanned,
by fathers of the land.
Divided we stand,
in moral wasteland....

Premium Member Apocalypse When
A blinding flash our planet will crash
To drab desertification
Burning up and drying out
To dust our monuments
Nowhere can we  hide
Bleaching  our bones
 With white heat
Caught cold
Doomed...

Premium Member Toppling Monuments
     Statues, iconoclasts love to destroy
     Toppling monuments brings them great joy
        Keeps them all limber
        As they shout ‘Timber’
      Columbus crashed down saying ~ ‘Land ahoy’

Old Soldiers
OLD   SOLDIERS



The dead have vast monuments begotten in stone
The living  have last moments forgotten, alone


The sound of marching fades in ceremonies
Replaced by new young legs for new cemeteries...

The Stars of the Underground
The stars that glimmer most, 
Are the stars often mistaken for stones
For they are not stones-
They are monuments of those past,
Who have worked to the bone, 
For masterment and marvel, 
For love unatoned....

Monuments in stone
midst the grieving groans;
eulogies reminders recall
incidents significant and small;
laughter,tears amidst the fears
is this all?
the sum of others memories

or is there more in store?...

Death Of A Snowflake Irony is not lost on the dying. As falling snowflakes no two are the same. Endless monuments to god’s creation. They are born in winter and die in spring. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison

Old people
Are like ruins
If you cannot
Cherish their hey days
Don’t dig up
Their past


If  
You
Go after 
The history
Of monuments,
You may cause
Insult to
The glorious past 
Of Royalties 
That have
Long crumbled!...

The empire of man
This is the empire of man,

Arson ,
Is the tongue of modern day prophets

Salvation,
In the bone and marrow of the "other"

The faith-starved stand tall,

And their monuments taller

The pilgrimage of gods to someplace holy......

Conversation On Crucifix
Conversation on crucifix
Sun in the eyes
Dying in the air
Of alcoholic steam
For the hopeless
monuments of the Future
Scattered through the civilizations,
Kills the religion
Quench the fire 
Hope for consolation,
Conversation on crucifix....

Premium Member Memorial
The true memorial of a man, my friend,

It is not engraved in monuments of stone

But

Into the hearts of those who were touched by him

Where the seed of compassion he had sown!

Mt. Olivet Cemetery: Nashville
The monstrous spires uprise
But never touch the skies,
Vain, earth-foundationed monuments
To Life’s impermanence.

Expensive markers war with Time
Where lichen mosses climb
And cover up each hand-carved word
That tells of those interred....
