The rubble spread and own the ground
The haughty murals recoil
Prim buildings that line the streets crumble to the ground
Folks stare at the vestige
It used to be a fine place, fine town
But there lies an anomaly
Right in the middle of this town lies a structure of steeple and nobility
It’s unharmed and pristine
No faults, not even a hint of a crack
It stands up high
Holding its dome with pride
Folks stare at the incongruity
It’s something that can’t hide.
