It is quite true time and war can destroy everything, but not poetry and art. Many gory wars have been fought in the world since the beginning of civilization. Towns, cities were destroyed in those wars. However, the art and poetry have survived those wars. For example holy scriptures, rare manuscripts of great poets and writers, paintings, sculptors, etc still stand erect unto this day. Wars could not destroy these beautiful creations. Nor could war destroy the memories of those artists who created those beautiful pieces of art. Art and poetry are eternal so are the memories of those who created beautiful creations. Poetry and art are immortal in the sense that they continue to live from one generation to another in the from of books and memories scattered in different parts of the world. However, buildings, statues, and gilded monuments are fixed on a particular place. Owing to their large size and immovability, they become an easy target of enemy artillery and cannons during war. But art lives on forever in the memories of people who dying hand them over to the next generations.
