Jaws of Statues
June 24, 2022
Jaws of statues speak words of deterrence to those who veer.
Those cold hard lips tell a story,
and gory legs chronicle long forgotten glory.
Broken arms and cracked lips don’t diminish your beauty.
Sculpted to be immortal.
Never forgotten, enshrined in white marble.
Smooth and polished you are, but what rough edges are you hiding?
Faults and wrongs made generous by life’s storytellers.
But, jaws of statues speak words of deterrence to those who veer.

I am Ben Stras, a tenth grader from Minnesota. This piece is about a trip to Italy and seeing the different statues there. When I saw them in Italy, I thought about its background. Why, did this person get a statue and not another. Also, just about how the person the statue is about has faults morally and physically, even though it was made by the greatest artists.
