Ascendancy & Subsequent Descents.



(Improbable Ego-Driven Venture of Delicate Balance by Kevin Fletcher.)


Observing the way certain people act around others,

You realise it’s a bit like watching a giant matchstick statue being erected.

A post-god Tower of Babel reaching to an desolate heaven,

Built to reach a long abandoned throne.


Even if it did still reign above,

I doubt they’d be deserving of the eternal life now unavailable.

It’s just a display of pride to boast about.

Gargantuan yet fragile and weak.

The slightest imbalance will bring the whole thing crashing down.

So let not the hand of a dead god obliterate it,

Their own reckless ambition for greatness will.


As such, they will destroy themselves.
