Pillars of my Life (Shalt Not Crumble)

Shalt not crumble, pillars,

for you were constructed of strengthened metal.

Shalt not excuse yourselves, pillars,

for you have worked hare to receive

the payload bequeathed to you.

If others shall doubt your worth in silver,

show them the work you've made in gold.

Trust not in your cracks,

because others will test them to dismantle,

but hold firm, or may my wrath

(as wrath can bring a torrential rain, but is followed with the growing of life)

strengthen you further so you may intertwine caressed patterns,

implemented beneath your own fertile structure.

As my weight,

in both mass and meaning,

crushes down on you,

relinquish not,

falter not,

and hold the position you were molded for.

Shalt not crumble, pillars, and shalt not excuse yourselves, neither,

for your pride will always flow against the uncertainty of others.
