Dead Man Sleeping 25 Dec 2008

Dead Man Sleeping 25 Dec 2008, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

a useless log that was once a tree
cut down to size for the world to see
pomp arrogance pride and vanity
its fruit laden bough and prosperity
have all vanished from its entity
thus lies vanquished
the once mighty
man and nature
causing havoc
calamity
even in death
seeking eternity
