I will smash my damn fountain


Fountainship

Human stood by the elegant marble fountain
In the night, cold, brisk, waiting
For the stars to move closer
And keep it company.

Human stood by the elegant marble fountain
In the day, colder, windy, waiting
Waiting, waiting,
For a new era of life.

Human sat on the edge of the fountain,
Elegant, made of marble,
Drank the life it spouted,
Introspected, cried.

Human stood on the edge of the fountain
The whole world watching,
Shouted its glory,
Screamed its pain.

Human, November night,
Cold, brisk, dove
Into the fountain,
Made of marble, beautiful.

Human, awoken,
Wielding its maul
Brought the fountain to his feet,
It did not beg for mercy.

Human,
Elegant, beautiful,
Drank its own life
Into a new era.

Woah.
Major intense gustaring by this poem
Dang.

I agree with Nick about it sounding like Ayn Rand.
I am also a huge fan of the "short description of your text"

This reminds me a tiny bit of Ayn Rand. It makes me think of "the fountainhead and has a similar style of referring to people.
I really like it though.
You always have such a unique perspective on how life happens. I am really jealous because it makes your writing very deep and interesting to read because you can take everything so many ways.

Also,
I checked to see if there was an acrostic here 'cause I got paranoid and here is what I came up with. HIFA HIWF HEDI HTSS HCIM HWBI HEDI... which is nothing unless it is in some satanic chanting language that I don't know about.

Good write
