Seeking to enshrine
their names in history-
they strive to pull down
the Colossus of Rhodes.
They fashion scoundrels
and heroes from naught-
which then become
vivid and definable.
They choose the side
of the under dog-
then become their Brutus.
Why is that-
can anyone dethrone
the despots that
wield unjust scepters?
