Deus Ex - Cassady Gilroy



The light of the Gods shone down.
A reminder of the souls of heroes,
Who sacrificed it all for the crown.
Transcended from their hallowed barrows.

The light shines atop the marble dome.
Its purity, its glory, its story.
A story for one to roam,
For one to feel free.

Ascending up the steps of old,
Into the vastness of time.
To feel like one can rule the world;
A feeling, all too sublime.

This place that all men seek to find,
An escape from the trials of reality.
A place where all feels aligned,
Where life is no longer a duality.

  1. Hey Cassady!
    I enjoyed this poem a lot. It seems to me like you really took a sight many people consider mundane and look upon daily with indifference, and let your thoughts guide you to an uncommonly profound sort of existential meditation—very cool!
