Is that





an accusing finger
pointed at the skies
for the inequities of
the world

a craning neck
scanning the horizon
for the beloved


a raised arm 

of 
protest

of
seeking
attention

a tall being
to shed light
on a 
dark world

just a symbol

saying 
stand up
and be counted

of foolish
arrogance

of elitist aloofness
impervious

to stay upright
in a sea of temptations

to stand
up to
injustice

or

- just a reliable ol'
light house

to warn against
the rocks?
