The Monolith

The monolith towers over
It's shadow touches all
An ever present sentinel
With an unknown purpose
Obsession circles round the monolith
Can its mysteries be known?
Can anyone make the journey?
The monolith silently waits

It draws in hearts and minds
Becomes all that they desire
Harvesting ambition
Consuming fragile souls
The monolith becomes a need
No escape from the reminder
Ready to sacrifice everything
Just to understand

As you approach the monolith
It slowly loses form
No edges to distinguish
Swallowing horizons
You wonder why you came
If this is all that you could see
Your bones will join the others
At the base of the monolith

It was all worthwhile
It was all worthwhile
It was all worthwhile
It was all worthwhile
