Fortuitous slip upon the gilded slope
Gems, jewels, and gold…wealth beyond scope
Upon descent momentum builds
Since the beginning of time, gravity kills
Inside the tumble, the world begins to stir
what’s up becomes down, reality a blur
What can you belive when your senses can’t be trusted
Which direction to head when your internal compass is busted
Lost in the process, desperation sinks in
But this is where the true opportunity begins
When your feet hit rock bottom, you have a position you know
A foundation that’s real, a start from which you can grow
Until you have fallen, these locations are pure conjecture
Philosophical ramblings, another blow hard lecture
Tragedy provides the crucible that tempers the soul
Learning how to realign true sight, to set a new goal
Woven into the fabric of every day actions
Is Honor, for which so many seek and split factions
Divisive, exclusive, a club for those who have the most
Egregious bags of wind that love to boast
Forcibly restricting access for the ascent of others
Culling the stock in a sense that makes me shudder
Take a closer look around at the livestock that we live with
Buying into the construct, hiding behind all their business
So many possessions, yet they’re left hollow and bereft
Because their riches do not transfer, after death
Reassess how you place value upon objects
Let go of who you were, develop a brand new mind-set
Begin your ascent with a firm foundation
Strong solid steps fueled with true inspiration
Walk past all the baubles, the meaningless gold
Out of the darkness and forward so bold
Feel the beautiful sun as it shines upon your face
Take your spot among humanity, rejoin the epic race
Now you can enjoy the experience of the chase
While others go crazy in attempts to set pace
No obstacle can stop you, you can overcome every case
Because now you have a purpose, now you know your place
