There is a metal in me...
I am of  iron as old as the ages
Mother Earth’s very core fills my veins.
I can taste her in my blood, I can feel her in my heart
It is this metal that drives me forward,
that holds these bones together
that nourishes me and gives me life
And in times of need, becomes my backbone
so I will not fall under the weight of the world
but will walk tall and proud in her splendor
for part of the world is what makes up the very essence of me
and, with her, I am stronger than any weight known
