All these pursuits And this voracious appetite to tame the impossible These years of grinding And not even getting distracted for a minute By the gluttony of settling for something lesser These house of cards That once I thought were concrete columns They are falling apart Courtesy to the mildest wind That is blowing somewhere far far away. This conflict fueled by strong memory It's a catastrophe The fire to the canopy And who is to suffer and burn and shatter It hardly matters.. The damage is on And god knows how long before its done.
