Fallen and Pounded (Against the Rocks)

By Perkele

I walked out
Onto a glass bridge
Engineered
With sure hands
Marveled at my
        Genius
Marveled at the
                    Cracks spreading

I treaded over
The raging rapids
An aggregation
Of pounding rocks
Marveled at its
        Beauty
Marveled at the
                   Passion flowing

Will you mourn
Or
   Just pass on by
           The crumpled body
                  The bloodied dignity
What is left of me

    This is trully a work of beuty. Its a shame that it had to written for a reason so unfortunate. The first verse tho, thats wat called to me more than anything else. A real work of art.
