Moments Monuments

A Poem by Olmsted A. T.

Moments Monuments

 

Moments monuments

memories treasures

Emotional keepsakes

That gather no dust

 

files of facts and

of fond figures

Illustrations of joy

That wont ever decay

 

Thats what were told

To care about

Before we can

think for oursekves

And the curtain gets torn down

And we realize weve been

lied to all along

 

Hopeless aspiratons

of dying in our sleep

even though we never wake up

Tally the cost

of every despots dream

Was it enough was it enough
