Legacy

I stand tall

In the pages of history

And in city landmarks

You cannot ignore me

Because I thrive

Because I survive

Despite all odds

I linger

As a citadel

A memorial

A grave

Marking my presence

In Space and Time

You cannot

Wipe me

Forget me

Abhor me

Hate me

Because I tell a story

Of the Times gone by

Of our entwined histories
