Shoulders

Carry this Weight

For I cannot carry this burden myself,

On my lonesome

I step,

Up, Up, Up-

I climb. 

Come, let us make bricks,

Let us build stairs,

But as this mountain grows steeper, 

I cannot, nor will I, watch myself topple

So I beg, 

Let us make a name for ourselves,

Hear my words, interpret as you can

But an impossible task is burden enough.

Do not bear this burden, 

But help me carry the weight

For the world must not be placed,

On the shoulders of one man.

Yet,

To each and everyone

They are.
