Poem of Pillars
When one gains power in the world, they can dictate the social norms of society.
To gain that power requires the leadership of something that is seen as more than just a simple human.
To gain that leadership requires the purpose of an individual who is above and beyond the norm.
One does not simply become what I aspire to.
Instead, their entire life must go through fire and water.
And only when it survives with each and every scar gained on the path can one know true greatness.
But beware the darkness of failure, of sleep, of apathy.
The seductive beckon of an easy path leads to a difficult fall.
Of which it becomes increasingly harder to rise up from.
Until all that remains is an altar of abandoned dreams.
