Destiny Poem by Asadollah Keshavarzi

Croesus of Lydia and Diogenes of Sinope
All die and rest in a dark wet grave
Sweat and blood
Digging wrinkles on the face of history;
Hanging gardens of Babylon
Great Wall of China
German peasant cottages
Oriental roads through deserts to eastern seas
Metropolises sunk in the glitter of neon lights and flashes
All perish
When Andromeda sinks into the bosom of the Milky Way
Alas!
But, forget my funny words
Tomorrow begins after a boring weekend!
