feigned history of the truth

freedom—time abused

Pride and Arrogance
The skyscraper,
soar into the sky,
solemn ... erected
by human
imitation
God's...
Undaunted

falls from the sky,
like icon
of concrete,
fallen angel ...
Of its fall
the vain
human,
proud
still ... guilt
the simple
clipboard...

a sham, hollow heart
of a cursed, cowering canine
that creeps to crawl
through labyrinthine caves
of what's left of his soul!...
