Fall of An Empire
That person in your reflection is the same person that will lead to your own downfall. You have to overcome him before he could eat you up into nothing.
I watched the twin towers collapse
To millions of ashes
With tears rolling from its eyes
Blinded by its own speckle of dust
I watched the pyramids at Giza
Crumble back to sand
As though bowing to its mother - the land
After forgetting her when it had already touched the skies
I watched the Great Wall's hollow crevices
Led its way to its breaching
Only to find the cracks came from within
I watched the brave fall of Spartans at Thermopylae
Just because a traitor showed the way to their enemy
Blood was shed for countrymen
Yet showed no shade of gratitude.
