here for comfort
here for food
here to stabilize a mood
here for power
here for fame
to immortalize a name
here to make the engine run
smooth until the day it’s done
here to save the souls of man
or here to represent a clan
here to prove that we’re the best
by stomping over all the rest—
here to find a place to go
to bury what we think we know
here to look around the bend
until the road comes to an end
here to fight and slay the beast?
here to breathe some air at least.
