Historical monuments
Stood remarkably well with proud
Making headway to
Wonders of world
Creating a history
For the future generations.
Golden words so engraved
Beautifully
Speaking the origin
Of beautiful monument
Built by
The admirer of arts and architecture
Combined with
Artistic approach
Creative minds
Strong hands
Years of hard work
Dedicated day and night
Of their life
Its the sweat of many people
For the antique piece to
Come up so beautifully.
Many unknown contributions
Of hard work.
Well financed
With quality stuffs.
Well maintained and strongly built with its life,
As long as the,
Living species on the earth,
Is the core structure emerged.
Built on strong foundation
That it stood for centuries
Untouched by natural calamities.
As the beautiful quote
Rome was not built in a day!
Yesterday was a forest here.
In a couple of week forest disappeared
Manual skill supersede
New technology, latest implements
Blink of eye, a beautiful tower stood.
And within couple of year tower collapsed
Thousands lay dead under it
No value for anything today!
Collapse of building was a history
Now its a common sight!

No value for anything today! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
When technology, money and human ingenuity are combined, in no time monuments and towering buildings are erected! But there is no guarantee for their strength or durability...! In the quest for making undue profits, inferior quality materials are used. Soon we hear of the collapse of buildings here and there..! Such tragedies are more frequent in modern times! Geetha, you have dealt with a serious issue.... the over riding greed of man leads to tragedies, which could have been averted, if man had been a little more prudent!
Collapse of building was a history Now its a common sight! A poet is great if he can amaze his readers with the bitterness of truth, and so is Geetha Jayakumar.
