A misguided lifetime spent laboriously erecting a monument
Built upon marshland revealing the truth of a dubious
foundation
An elaborate façade prevented outward vision – light’s
inward penetration
Long dark corridors echoed a vast emptiness
A muted bell called out an invitation to worship
That remained unheard and unanswered
In a moment of near blinding realization
The lone occupant is startled by a staggering truth
Will life now permit time for its realization?
A mighty demolition has been called for
All that was built in vain
Must now be torn asunder
Once all that was visible
Has been vanquished
Then and only then
Will those that walk there
Know they stand upon holy ground
