Of dogmas, philosophies, ideologies, mythologies, religions,
Rubble of lives, edifices, nations, empires built on
Classic lines and blatant falsehoods.
Come, I will show you ruins of neighborhoods,
Kingdoms, monuments to ambition and immense pride,
Rode unbridled, without reins, of monarchs and their
reigns.
Coliseums and Parthenons crumble,
Fade to dust like old daguerreotypes
In mighty Aton's intense glint and glare.
Societies stutter, stumble, fall
prey to Chronos' depredations and timelines.
They that stood tall, standing on the toes
Of Timbuktu, like Timbuktu, are gone
The way of all flesh and bone and stone.
