Be your own builder,
Resist the oppressive constructors,
Despise the green realtors.
Tear all contracts.
Construct your own foundation,
It may be ostentatious,
Or it may be sparsely simplistic.
The choice is yours.
Lay the identifying cement,
And feel yourself rise, rise.
Two stories, three, four.
Higher!
Higher!
You’re an independent skyscraper challenging the gods,
Piercing the questioning heavens with pure thought,
Boring a bloody hole in Zeus’s harem,
Taunting the fiercest lightning,
Standing defiant,
Daring,
Double-daring.
A petrified monolith braving eternity,
Unabashed, unworn, undefeated.
