The Statue
January 2009
I watch the world with
haunted eyes
As the place I know slowly
dies
I watch my brethren fall
apart
As the city I know gently
departs
I watch the world with
cautious stance
As the lights above me
continue to dance
As the candle flame goes out
forever
And I watch and wait for
never
I watch the world as it is
changed
As the city I know is
quietly deranged
I cannot run from this
impending danger
I simply watch as I become a
stranger
In a world full of many
minds
They hardly stop to look
behind
To see the past is coming
back
And the world isn’t
sheltered from their worst attack
