The statue

  • 0

Taken days, hours, months, even years to prepare
and dedicate the art and craft to this figure
to stand the test of time

seated in the memories of young and old
in rich and poor
this piece/symbol/figure
stands tall stands proud

Beneath its weight the compounded soil
made up of the finest roots
that go deep into man’s greatest virtues
and meet where man and figure match

but more that often this be not so
for the compounded beaten/downtrodden soil
upon which some of these figures stand
is made up of the harshest atrocities
that the sun has ever seen

The ramifications of one’s actions
can make a reverberation
through the passing down of time
the quivering of hearts
at the ugly sight of a villain
now made beautiful
by a sculptor’s trained eye and hand

The statue stands
stands proud, unashamed
above the buried
eventual forgotten past...
