Two Men and a Mountain

Two men met at the base
Of a mountain.
And they gazed at the rock-
Aged millions of days.

One man said,
'A man can surely climb to the top."
The other agreed:
'And for certain, man can build something taller.'
So the two men nodded
And concluded that man was great.

The two men left.
The mountain stood.
Man or mountain:
Which is absolute?

The mountain stays absolute in stone/rock, the men stay absolute in essence, in acknowledgment of each other and man's achievements.


Okay, well I hope I didn't totally get that all wrong. I mean not like I could for the most part, because different people make different analysis' of written work.

I'm pretty sure you were addressing other things in this story, but the first thing is all I want to say.
