beneath marble smiles

The shallow king has heeded narcissus call
cinderella decided not to attend the ball
and one of the ugly stepsisters wed the prince-
how sad.
"for honor and glory" the pagan god said
as he tumbled forth and lost his head
to the new god who stood alone -
and whispered to his servants
"blood and gold will build my throne"
deception at its best
the true devil has yet lain to rest

With each heaving breath the statue takes-
(in protest)
loaded with sharp pain from stab wounds-
sand in lungs,
he looses out a desperate but unheard scream,
"please, oh please. . .chase your own dream"
