Chronology

Chronology

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

Idiom

Idiom

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
