An exemplar poem that nails humans' endless corrupt and crave for power. Added to that is one heartbreaking portrayal of the demise of human and humane virtues. Destroying the symbols which many believe to be their calling card to the divine is again an indirect note of shattered hopes. Wars after all doesn't stop with destroying the serenity of lands, but also the tranquility of one's mind.
