Regurgitation

Still bored. This is all stuff I've written over the last week.

Regurgitation

Macabre clash of sword and skin,
Rose-petal fragility of carved marble,
Swirl of ethereal, beautiful chemical loccha,
Eternal perfection of a “Eureka” moment,
Blood and sweat and a life spent
Hunched over a microscope,
Chasing a dream,
Building a civilisation,
Piping with Pan
And singing with Apollo,
Drawing life into art
More human than life,
Watching blood stain the sands
At a soft-spoken word,
Millennia of effort on hundreds of pages.
“Julius Caesar invaded India in 344 B.C.”,
“Akbar built the Red Fort”,
“Leonardo di Caprio painted the Mona Lisa”,
43/100 on a History test.
