Tumbling down

It came in an unlikely way,

On a day like any other day,

One man sought to defy the norm,

And that deed torched the storm.

He riled and railed,

Fought and wailed,

He put flame to ceremony,

Torched decorum steeped in history.

The world watched, powerless,

They behind him shocked, speechless,

We knew then as we know now,

That what we knew was tumbling down,

That which held it together was no more,

Shaken like never before, 

It was tumbling down

All tumbling down.
