A crow perched on a cross (poem)

In the end we're all bound to change.

A crow perched on a tall rusted cross,
its once white paint long gone -
the cross now a bare-boned effigy
to a god who went silent long ago.

One day the wind will blow,
and the cross will crumble,
eaten away by years of neglect
by a people who forsake their god.

A great kingdom turned to sand,
washed away by the wind and rain -
homes turned to ash,
their inhabitants spilling out of broken urns.
