The Tall Edifice That Is Built On Our Land Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Tall Edifice That Is Built On Our Land



they all look
at the tall edifice
build on our
very own land
they forget
that no matter
how tall the edifice
is
how it has become
their god
it is still subject
to the limitations
of our
own ownership
and so soon
we shall not even touch
it as it begins
to crumple itself
like the dust in the desert
blown
by our own
lawful wind.
