The Invention

I wanted to produce something visible
that filled the beholder
With pride and awe:
and when they looked and
saw it, joyous tears would flow forth
And drown all doubt. To
My great horror, it caused
irreversible damage to the witnesses. It
ruined their spirits, as they saw only
roaring monsters.
overwhelmed with grief, embarrassment, and anger, they
ripped my invention off the wall.
