Pyramids In The Sand

-Pyramids In The Sand-
by

Monuments of men
False God's of superior logic
All living within
The wrong time and space
They should have known
But I fear they refused
Their hands stained with blood
The backs on many
Broken under the weight applied
Doomed long before they set all
That they planned into motion
Pyramids in the sand
Far out into a distant land
Marking what humankind
For a time was truly capable of
Under the thumb of another
Men, turned slaves
Traitors to a skewed sense of belief
In the eyes of those holding the whips
Triangular sides built from rectangles
Racing from the unrelenting ground
To an infinite point in the forgiving sky
From a thousand miles below
And a thousand miles above
Their magnificence screams
Inside many secrets do reside
Outside many failed truths
Have since begun to crumble down
Lost languages
And names no longer spoken
Adorn many fractured walls
Empty jars of life are now full of dust
Angry wind from barren lands
Is slowly destroying them
Eons of time have silently passed
Further wearing them down
Like a child carrying
An ever-increasing load
They stand no real chance
Humankind have since changed
All matter and material
But such temples to false God's
Are foolishly still being erected
Dangerous influences of greed and wealth
Flourish unaffected
Time has done nothing to solve
The issues of human decay
Many of men have come
Sure that they were indeed the one
And that all they knew was right
Ultimately, they were proven
To be unequivocally wrong
Ultimately, they were destroyed
A lesson to be had
A lesson continually ignored
Building monuments
To false God's of superior logic
Has taught us nothing…
