Collapse

These monuments collapse around him
He stands there trying to see through the debris
He can only see straight up
Above him the beautiful blue sky
His wings could take him so far away
To a place of beauty and peace
Then he sees their faces
They come toward him
Before they reach, he attempts to flee
But they have grabbed him
Dragged him down
He looks down in fear
But again sees their faces
Faces of sorrow
Begging him to stay
So he abandons his own hope
And covers them all under his wings
