Like a pillar,
I stand tall,
Strong and towering,
I will not fall.
I have seen all love and hate,
Rise of kings and fall of states.
Standing still may seem strange,
But growth is my way to change.
Witness wealth and treasure,
But do not linger and loaf.
Rise above and return,
For beauty is terror’s cloak.
Follow the arrow straight to the heart,
Keep on going,
But you needn’t walk far.
