He was carved out of marble
Pure
Smooth tan and stunning
A masterpiece only the gods could create
Perfection
A detailed sculpture to leave ladies bowing
Groveling, kissing at his feet.
Exquisite posture
A face held high
Perfectly chiseled jaw bone
Well proportioned features
Lasting all up until the day
He cracked from too much pressure
Marble splintering like feeble wood
Knocking him off of his pedestal
Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be beautiful
