The seed of an idea
It took its time to grow
Began to expand
Manifested oh so slow
But when the silver sissors
Snipped the stem
it took but a bare insant
After all that work
And spent time
It put up no resistance
It was in prime condition
No wear
And no rust
But in nothing more then a moment
It crumbled into dust
A city built in a century
Is crushed with just one bomb
A life takes a while living
But the ending's hardly long
Forever I have known this
And yet I was suprised
What thought of as endless
Did not take much time
I didn't see the headlights coming
Nothing flashed before my eyes
There was no moment of enlightenment
I couldn't pick the truth from lies
Just a moment
Then the next
No fireworks between
There was no gathering crowd
There was nothing to be seen
Things die every day
It couldn't be considered news
Yet somehow I expected immortality
Of my opinion
Of you
