Gargoyle's Perch

High in the sky

On a dark, moonlit night

The gargoyle watches

From his perch

Gazing deep

Into the heart of the city

He sees all of the madness

All of their sadness

As lights flash

And the cars crash

People cry

And people die

Guns fire

And druggies get higher

The book of the world

Adds more to its darker chapters

The gargoyle is to be their guardian

To add light to this book

But he cant guard all of them

And all of their evils

Turn him to stone

Leaving them to fend for their own

Til the day they fend for each other

I love gargoyle's they just make my heart beat faster, but in all seriousness I love this... it captures a side of a gargoyle people don't know.

i love this poem. the ending is really thought provoking, and through the entire thing i have a clear mental picture of the gargoyle watching over the city. makes you think back to that old question that if objects like this could talk, what would they say about the world? great write (:

i love this. espically about how it is talking about a stone structure, the gargoyle, watching over all the things happening. and the last line "leaving them to fend for there own/ till the day they fend for each other" really made me think. it would be so much better if we stopped thinking only for ourselves and thought about others once in a while. you did a great job portraying all of this, and i really did enjoy reading it :D
