The Wall Crumbles Still #NaPoWriMo2017 #GloPoWriMo2017

None proved more ineffective
Save to rally mobs

Obsolete as built
Unfit for useful purpose

Allegorical symbol
Relic of its age

For Day 26 of Na/GloPoWriMo2017, NaPoWriMo.net challenges us to consider what future archaeologists, whether human or from alien civilization, will make of us? Today’s poems should seek answer that question, exploring a particular object or place from the point of view of some far-off, future scientist.

Inspired grey matter
Displays creative nature
By Divine design
