Out of My Way
I can take no more
Your petty little gripes are no more than a bother
Take your squeaky tones away
Can't you see, I'm full to the core
I have larger stones to move
There are mountains to climb
You are just a hill in comparison
Nothing is all that you can prove
Get out of my way cause forward I shall go
Stop me you may try, but I will achieve
Once I'm gone, my trail is all that you will know
If you want to come along you must follow
For on this trek I am the leader
You don't have the strength in your body, that which is hollow
Try to keep up, the trip will be tough
The Plant Poet
