ARCANUM XVI (The Tower)

[Baut Images: The Tower or The Lightening]

ARCANUM XVI
Description:
A tower is decapitated by a thunderbolt.
Misery, distress, indigence,
 
adversity, calamity, deception, ruin.

The chastisement of pride.


A crowned and uncrowned man are
precipitated from the tower,
falling down with the rest of the debris.


Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion,
The Bill of Rights falls.

Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion,
The Constitution falls.

Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion
The citizenry falls.

Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion
The plutocracy falls.

Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion,
The emperor falls.

Falling.
Falling.
Falling in slow motion.
 The planet falls.



The Tower is Falling
