The Fault of Man

Thousands of belated, stilled lines
So many falling monoliths
Crumbling decay and creep vines
Translating sacred facts to myths

Time wears away the chisel marks
Exposes all the cracks and faults
Sinking, too, the sturdiest arcs
Finally, our progress, it halts

So we die slow with sad repose
Dust becoming our funeral clothes
