Stone temple statue slays peace in open ruin while tales
Of martyred heros are washed away in the yearly delta
Floods. The forgotten cracks grow & the abandoned houses
Know why the stone man stands- cruel symbolic king of
The poor man's land...& the deserted city streets are like
Gaps in his dirty smiling teeth but just as flesh heads will
Hang, stone heads will roll. Statues crumble, heroes fall.
