Witness to the Century

More than one hundred years ago a witch cast a spell and made me part of this building’s facade.   From my location, I’ve been a witness to the century.

Early on people would pass in horse drawn carriages and that gave way to horseless contraptions that moved fast along the cobblestones.   

Eighty-four years ago I saw a crowd running towards that bank and then a few days later men were jumping out of windows.  

During the war, young men in uniform would pass by and often they would be holding tight to their crying sweethearts.   

I remember other wars too and all the protests.  I suppose there is still more change to come.
