Confessions of an ideologist

I had some ideologies      
Many said they were extreme.
May be..... but I never cared
For anyone or anything.
  

I believed in them strongly.    
I had some like minded friends
Who also believed in them
Much like me, I believe.       
For ages, many people felt   
We were a pain.      
When I looked at my yard
I saw more bricks than bouquets.
May be..... but I never cared
For anyone or anything.

Many said I influenced powers
And people dreaded me.
I was inevitable by then.
Even now I think I am.....
And my ideologies.
I have given much to my society
But many think I took away much.
May be..... but I never carved
For anyone or anything.

I lived thus a complex life.
Until I saw the last sunrise
And nature took over me.
I Cleared my yard                
Carrying them all with me.    
People heaved a sigh.
Afloat, I look down
I see my son and his cousin.
I heaved a sigh.
