Analysis of Breaking Barriers
This structure- I hope it collapses
and backlashes in to the creators face that made it.
There’s no room for limitations
or space between the letters I place-
It’s evasive.
A simple statement that’s made to last
unlike a fortress fortified by a mason who hates it.
The formats laid, it’s not to be fallowed or
barrowed by names that are faithless.
Just one original thought is hard to find-but I have found
Amazement-
In tragic classics, I lay-an-rest, the death of what is sacred.
And in the end it all descends to the
basic line of greatness.
