Empire

24 4 2
                                    

You are not a museum.
You are not pictured or paintings
Framed in any wall
For people to look at
Or judge
Or assume.
I want you to learn how to
Appreciate the temples
And empires
That you built
With those calloused hands of yours-
You didn't build those sculptures for other people to judge their worth-
So I want you to engrave these words
Into your mind
And into your heart:
Your empire has not fallen.
You simply need to tear down those walls you built,
And let the sun shine down on your people.
