>>[112](/thread/poetry#112) ### Brighter Than the Last #### by J.D. Harlock over and over, they rotate blades catching the wind pockets of air forming on one side then pulling them toward it though the wind presses against the front, threatening the motion the force of the lift is stronger than the drag, this ceaseless push and pull turning the rotor over and over — to the pride of the lone watcher who had no hand in its construction made no profit from its completion for this monument is as much their creation as any of the scientists, engineers and construction workers who came together and built the future but under this exposure a thought, a fear, strange yet familiar is brought to light more and more those who stand here after they have left and are long gone will find these pillars dulled by the sculptors of progress chiseling it down into a foundation for what is to come and in time what once was a beacon is now a monument in a world they were barely able to hold on to the wrongs that were needed to right the future, the injustices to those who were unjust are to be the crimes they will never be punished for the shame they will never have to bear for no one will ever know and in time no one will even understand what had to be done for the future and though it burned, scalding them they laughed it off they laughed it all off because they knew a paradise like this can only be built by people like them and so the blades are pushed on against the wind turning over and over a new chapter in our history each a little brighter than the last
