The Architects and the Morrow Days
10. The New Architect

He thought he was an ordinary boy
until he almost died, and so was saved.
His extra time was too short to enjoy
because a new world opened, that he braved.
He was a normal boy. To save the world
was a bit beyond his scope, but he'd try
because they wouldn't do, they only twirled
their keys and crown and watched Nothing wash by.
There'd been a will to save all of them
but they'd ignored it, and rightfully so
because, to fix the world, to sew its hem,
he destroyed, and brought to them the black crow
that reset the world from zero, to start
because Denizens could not create art.
