The cry of mankind
is echoed in the sea
- whispering in the day -
- thundering in the night -
carefully eroding
the granite walls of history
as time marches on.

Time does march on and we do seem to erode our history don't we? This made me pause and think about what we are doing to our history and to humanity in general! Excellent write

Some beautifully woven language in this poem ...
Especially love 'granite walls of history' ...
Like the imagery ..
Best of luck in the contest ...
