Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Bastille

Built by the French, named the Bastille,

I became the main prison that

Was the fav way French kings did deal

With foes, using my habitat

As place, out of sight, out of mind.

But in seventeen eighty nine

On July 14th, I did find

The storming of the walls of mine

By French revolutionists who

Were calling for behead the king.

That's exactly what they did do,

And I became a symbol thing.

I was not long for Paris town.

Revolutionists tore me down.
