In Which I read the Romantic Manifesto, by Mrs. Rand

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, how are you? How was the rest of your week? I hope you are well, and the week went as planned? How is the weather? Here, the weather is pleasant, it is characteristic of this time of year for the weather to be as such, it is the season of colder winds and some rain, which I appreciate. Not as much rain this July, so far, as on the winter of 2017, which I think was quite rainy, but well.

To the city where the tall tower would stand

It fell like a sandcastle
The tower above the religious temple
Once the biggest in the place
Huge wonder

Fragile it went to the ground, to the violent flames, trying to eclipse the sun
Fragile it fell, like a sandcastle
The highest peak on a dramatic swim
People sang as it fell, to a mortal dive
It fell, like a sandcastle

The fire was the water, provoking the structure
Defying its stature, envy is a sin, it won the battle
It fell, like a sandcastle

It felt like a sandcastle
How it stood, proud, millions would come to see
Nature do not like such attention, such confidence, it seeks to destroy it
Like a sand castle, it was melt

Like a sandcastle it felt
It fell
