The spider,
Is hanging by a thread,
He made it himself,
What's going through his head?

He doesn't think,
How fragile it is,
A little wind,
Will be the death of him.
About twenty years or so ago
I decided to apply myself
and work dilligently
at creating a life for myself
in the Arts
so I began working hard
day after day after day
every day
and every night
toiling at creating
my works of many differing arts
every day working eighteen or nineteen
hours a day

and now, twenty or so years later
I have found
that I have worked my way
right straight
to the bottom!
You can do it too
if you work hard
and apply yourself!
Never relent to reach your dreams
never fall at the first fence
be brave and fight on
think everyone not your enemy

Stand fast and never yield
be strong for the time of deliverance
be a child of the stars so vast
with hard work and perseverance

Go by the beat of the drum
know that enlightenment is within you
be as we, stride on freely
for I truly believe that you can really do

You see,
The thing is,
I'm standing on an abandoned road
That goes two directions.
I can only choose to go one way
Because the distances are so far.
I need to find my direction
And go that way.
But,
I have no car
No bike.
I must walk.
You have to work for the things you want.
