I can't remember,
Remember a time,
A time when the world seemed so clear.

Following the footprints in the sand,
The footprints left by those before me,
Those before me leading me to the future they've built for me.

I am not happy with it,
Happy with the future I'm expected to greet,
Greet with Open arms and claim as if I worked for it myself.

I am not the person I have been lead to be,
Lead to be in the hopes I will end up like you,
Like you to bear the torch of compliance and mediocrity.

With Chissel in hand I will change it,
Change the future and carve the stone anew,
Carve the stone anew and leave my own footprints in the sand.
Holy Moly I ain't posted in a hot minute, like I've said in my older posts I have planned on coming back and creating more, this time I hope to mean it...
Instant gratification generations
all nations bent on material sensations
but to wait for something great
takes patients and vurtues, morals and debate

Carved in stone, chissel in hand
all my own roaming the land
time is a test and rocks last longer then the rest
some were moved from all around
back and forth across the ground
slowly and surely, theres no hurry

Step after step
with no debt
I live small
I have it all

— The End —
