Overseer of this freely roamed land
Men who built me worn into the ground
Legacy etched on my weathered face
Mighty in stance, amenities boasting
Three sisters keep watch under my feet
Brothers in arms near earth as angels
Vigilant by day, forgotten by night
"But our purpose abused!"
Scream the scribbles at base
Shameless mockery, anonymous foes
Terrifying indifference
"Hear me!" I cry into the void
An artifact I, though sturdy in heart
Can't bring a rock to change its ways
And exist I will, outliving them all
In my nominal splendor.
