Here's a poem I wrote in 2019. Our distant ancestors knew what they were doing, pity modern man has forgotten it.

breathing life into envisaged giants our days were long but calling we finished standing these stones of time their face our face our hands were bleeding as we sank into the ground left a future in our wake diminished we knew we had to do it but to their colossus we now rest in peace to set all peace to come

I suspect they figured prominently in some ancient religious rites or idol worship. Who knows. They continue to fascinate many
