I've never seen a statue built to praise the broken;
I suppose it'd be near impossible to make stone that beautiful.
Instead, I've seen a thousand things carved ugly into stone like scars,
seen monuments to monumental mess-makers,
seen their war hero waste-lands build bars around the hearts
of a thousand cast-iron shackled slave saviors, but
I've never seen a statue built to praise the broken;
I suppose it'd be near impossible to make stone that beautiful.

— The End —
