The Monuments To False Gods

Idolatry is a common feature in works of antiquity
To give credit to the created, rather than the creator
View all the statues left behind, in any ancient place
To be remembered and praised, rather than infamy
It isn't false to say, that isn't the same as being a god
Statues left behind of those aren't close to divinity
But desiring worship, praise, adoration are hubris
So view with awe the engineering, and artist's craft
They are the truly marvelous accomplishments
As they beckon your mind to remember the past
