Too Ancient To Be New

Where words fly

But carving exists

I am too ancient to be new

I am glued to the truth

Not to any falsehoods

I carry the same precision,the same hue

Dig out my birth and you'll see me same

Lying motionless,fighting the time change

My shadow hasn't changed

Nor it has tried to run away

To the mere fact of being new

Where only illusions exist

I display the glory,the mighty wins

While people try to absorb me during their blinks

And now the time plays havoc

Tyrannous is he

But I stand-motionless

Dead but alive,

Alive, for the truth I display

Scratched are my walls

By the new lovers

Broken are my idols

By the gruesome manipulators

But I stand-motionless

Steady but lively

Fighting all foes

I'll be me,the old me

Cause I'm mellow

While new is hollow

And by each passing day

People flock to see me

Full of brimming curiosity

"Ah,what a beauty" they say.
