This temple…

Will never be rebuilt

Its passages are permanently obstructed

There is no treasure to plunder

No wonders to explore

Leave it to crumble

To fall to ruin

One day…

It will be a wonder

The unpassaged temple

The unplundered treasure

But until that day

It is simply a building

A blight on the landscape

Perhaps we should

Demolish this temple

Give history…

A place to start

When making folly in the name of art

Do you reveal your hidden heart?

Like every child has a toy

That brings to them a world of joy

There is one place where troubles start

Jealousy plays a major part

Without which wisdom we can impart

It all seems like a hidden ploy

When making folly in the name of art

The story needs a brand new start

Take heed and remember, play your part

It’s a life that most enjoy

No one wants to maim, destroy

But when making folly in the name of art

Repetition reveals the darker heart

Don't Forget

There is no pleasure for the penitent

No savior for the just

A battered bag of bones

Lies beaten, bleeding and bruised

In shouting at the wicked

We oftimes forget the compassionate

Cooler heads cannot prevail

When ardent passion rules
