The Pillar
The pillar is crumbling
It was already crumbling but this is new
New cracks
New crumbles
Builders are not sure if these cracks will cause the pillar to fall, to crumble apart
This pillar may not be able to be fixed
The builders have to make an important decision
Is it too risky for the pillar
Will it work
Is it worth trying to save this pillar when it already has cracks that has sentenced this pillar to a life of problems before it falls
These old cracks cannot be fixed
These cracks are permanent
These cracks hurt this pillar always
These new cracks could make the pillar fall
What will happen to the roof that the pillar is holding up if the pillar falls
Will other pillars hold it up
Will part of the roof fall with the pilllar
Will all of the roof fall
Unable to be supported by other pillars
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
The pillar is cracking
The pillar is crumbling
The pillar may fall
The pillar may not fall
What will happen if it falls
What will happen if it does not fall
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Oh how nobody knows!
When this pillar's time will come
When it will turn to rubble
How long it will stand for
How long it will hold up its roof
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Oh how nobody knows!
