Excellent!! I felt much the same way in Rome. Marble was beautiful, but I saw blood. Thousands dying for statues and 'paintings' actually made from bits of tile had to be placed individually. Most of the statues seemed to me to be of the Mine's-bigger-than-yours
variety. As for the Colosseum, brrrrrr. Thank you for the reminder that millions are still enslaved. 'Pea' <3

A telling and chilling parable of the too-often blind impulse to obey custom and ritual with too little consideration for the consequences. Your words speak to the core of fatal human failings while wisely indicating the possibility to avoid the same. CRUSHING PYRAMIDS is intensely brilliant and courageously profound.

Very poignant write
The weight of the "pyramids" is still crushing the life of the egyptians until they find a way out
How can we glorify a symbol of salavery and death?
It's the egyptian spirit that is still alive is the glorified one
Bless you, poet

If we don't take the sword of Justice to cut the tongues of
indifference, more flesh will be ground in the "crushing pyramids".

The echoes of the call of Justice are multiplying in
through the "crushing pyramids".

I salute You Poet!

This is very interesting and thought provoking. Makes me think about all the slaves building those pyramids for the rich. Great poem.
