Follow Me!

The world is full of hurdles and fences
And other defenses
That keep you from reaching the top
They’re such an impediment that only the sediment
Can soften your fall when you flop.

Yes you can get on your feet hear that far distant beat
Of the drummer who beckons you on
But when you’ve gathered your senses and other pretenses
That give you an inkling of gain
A mallet will whack you
A tyrant will smack you
And bring on a new round of pain.

So it’s one step forward and two steps backward
As you travel on life’s weary path
As again and again thru the wind and the rain
You encounter another new wrath.

The stabs will get deeper the barbs will get cheaper
As a new knife cleaves another new scar
And when your eyes run out of tears
And your soul loses it fears
Some yahoo will reset the bar.
Higher.

Don’t whine and don’t yelp
And don’t ask for help
As you slide thru the ick and the goo
Just follow my lead and you will succeed
I’m only one step ahead of you.

Cleverly created and meaningful too at the same time; I love the way this "rides." Love and peace to you, Edward.

I really like the way it lyrically bounces along coming to a fine finish with you in charge.
