In the larger scheme of things


The empire stands majestic and tall.

Brick by brick you laid.

With your own hands.

Not caring for the wounds.

"The empire must shine", you said.

It shone. Brightness taking away your sight.

You still smiled. Blood and sweat you put in.

Now unflinching stands the empire.

And you stand invisible.

You are just a tiny object in the larger scheme of things.

Unseen. Unheard.
