Mine into mountains and make them empty.
Create stone castles for your kingdom,
they will cease to exist.
Create gardens filled with reflecting pools,
herbs, and vibrant flowers
they will wither.
Create benches, trellises, and arcs,
dedicated to the ones who built them,
names will be worn away.
Create homes for the families that will
live within your magnificent kingdom,
you will have destroyed them.
