Lost Chapter -The Symbol

By Henry Coldnight

A work inspired by Lost Chapter -The Beauty

of the lost city:
a thousand years,
watched, deformed;
broken arm,
torn face, and
pieces of memories.

Eye of Colossus,
cannon of peace; it was
built to last, and
fire the weapon
over and over again.

Can it be stopped? No.
Why not?
Nobody knows how (anymore).
Will we fix it?
Never.
