Ruins

Lessons of the past are for all

RUINS

A silent witness 

to the days of old

An empty monument 

to the Kings of lore

A testament to the glory of man

and to the brutality of glory

A symbol to the cycle of empires

and civilizations, turning on and on

Everything ends,everything falls

all it takes is time

[Fabian G. Franklin]

This reminds me very much of Shelley's "Ozymandias"...the same theme, at least. Poets have remarked upon it since time began in print...in art, they call it "vanitas" or translated, vanity...but it has to do with the passing of time, entropy and decay...etc. I really enjoyed your piece on this timeless subject. 100% from me. :o)

The poem state a true fact. Everything will end. Great government will fall usually due to forgetting to take care of people and budget. A powerful poem.
