Renaissance
Cracking bricks upon auburn bricks
Delicately placed by pious hearts
Fearing the rising sun of each day
Closer to the arrival of their king.
They stop by the tower
Each body placing their hands,
Caressing the dirt they once knew
Now shaped into final blocks
To form weeping humans in the night.
The steeple loved that building,
Her golden, Christian bells
Singing to the walls, morning 'til night.
The tower atop the cathedral
Becomes the symbol of the age.
A flurry of a time crowned with
Unjust romance, decadence, laughter,
All that the reverent men cannot see.
The place of worship dripping
With the brothel eyes
Of the renaissance
Dotted with falling temples
In that city, the tower stands alone.
