Fighting A Losing Battle

This week’s photo prompt is provided by Sonya with the blog, Only 100 Words. Thank you Sonya!

They had been fighting ever since one had entered the other’s realm. It wasn’t that neither could live while the other would survive. They could coexist but they wouldn’t.

Both of them tried to outlive each other but as with all bouts, might was right, and the weaker one started to lose. The defeat was extraordinary – each scar of the defeat stood for the world to see.

The war between Time and Architecture still rages on. The constituent of nature won, just as always, against the creation of man. And as always, man always lost; and carried on Fighting A Losing Battle

Ever since the fort was built, the rampage of time had begun.
They could exist without damaging each other, but they didn’t.
Mighty Time stood strong and bit the fort, bit by bit.
And then there would be no fort to see
A pretty ordinary defeat indeed.
