I’ve spent a lot of time in the last few weeks researching Art History: sculpture is an intrinsic part of man’s expression, from simple carving to increasingly sophisticated works of anatomical complexity and accuracy. It was this desire to record history in three dimensions that ultimately inspired this week’s haiku.

There Was No Glory
History, written
In stone across centuries:
Strong, solid stories.
All those deities
Religious diversity:
Bound by common theme.
Struggle to survive,
Wars and conflict: their reward,
Carved as testament.
There was no glory
At moment’s definition:
Simply quiet relief.
Lasting legacy,
Entropy not yet destroyed:
Victory, remains.
