PYRAMIDS AND OTHER THINGS
PYRAMIDS AND OTHER THINGS
Time strikes down empires
buried in shifting sands
princes, kings, jeweled crowns,
papal rings and wedding bands
lost in years of changing winds.
no seed of Creation withstands
Time’s blind fury.

Interesting
rhyme scheme. A powerful poem about powers. First and last lines are quite a pair.

when you smile
I laugh
and
when you laugh
I roar
and seek others to remain silent
so that I may hear
the NIAGARA Falls!
hahaaaa....
Joe smile you will be well
and far better after all
remove the negativity in you
and see fruition of a warmer climatisation
Joe the world needs you
we are just like morning's dew.
