In a world of turmoil, it is art that endures...

————

Survey the ruins

Of empires gone

Tumbled bricks

And empty rooms

We do not cheer

Their battles fought

Soldiers slain

Sad children’s tears

Instead we save

The art they wrought

Painting, sculpture

Poetry, song

These things we cherish

Secure, preserve

In this world, fleeting

‘Tis art, endures
