The ravages of time and wars can affect monuments, memorials and statues but not this great poem. Justify.

Nothing in this world is permanent, everything is momentary. Time is supreme. However, the poem acknowledges the durability of the written word in comparison to other structures like marble or gold-plated structures. He feels that a literary composition like a poem can touch the hearts of many and can withstand the corrosive impact of time. The poet contrasts the power of poetry with that of monuments built by princes and kings. Wars can destroy the monuments but even the god of war cannot burn the impact of written words. The poet advises the person he loves to move forward forgetting all fears and enmity. This will keep him alive in the minds of future generation. This is the best way to live in peace till the world comes to an end.
