The Grandeur of a Broken Stone

The Grandeur of a Broken Stone
Fell Tyrants victr’y prize
A thing of glory and wonder
Which men cannot despise
For we do honor lesser men
Than have wrought before
And so we gaze in wonder
Honor the days of yore

A Stone rolled down the mountain
And was shaped by many hands
Then t’was dashed against harder stone
Thus was left for all to see
What is it that we gaze upon?
What is it that we see?
For a Broken Stone’s still broken
No matter how great it be

If these things are forgotten
Then mistakes are made again
But remembrance brings with it
A cruel, swinging pendulum
From sins large in grandeur
Comes the subtle and refined
But what scares me more than all:
Both are respected in kind

‘Tis a fine line which we tread
Remember the sins of the past
But learn from the lies of the moment
Lest they return, lest they last
For the Broken Stone is beautiful
But broken it certainly is
And as another starts to fall,

Pray you are not crushed

"Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you." Earl

"Ooo!!! Ooo!! I know! I know! um...he he" Earl
(Yes I am crazy)

Thanks Smiles! Your right this poem has nothing to do with a stone.
This is about sociaty, more specificaly the development of sociaty.
