The Phoenix

The Phoenix

Your concrete lies
Your heart of stone
Will crumble eventually
They have yet one weakness
In the elements
Nature has its way of breaking the weak and
Having the strong rise from
The ashes, left behind from a
Fallen phoenix, who once flew
Over Egypt as a sign of good
Fortune to the Pharaoh, who
Then had his empire crushed by
A Shepard of a flock of sheep,
Everything has its climax which
Is embraced but soon deserted as
The decline begins and the height of
The climax is forgotten, soon you
Will forget our climax as you have
Already forgotten our introduction but
For us there is no recession, no heroic
Act for us to rely upon, we are what
The academics call history
