Staircase To Nowhere

Here’s a staircase to nowhere You can try to climb on top Just to see the world from there While ascending, you can drop See the steps are wet and rotten Loose, unsafe and slippery What is up there you've forgotten? What do you expect to see? “There's no view, but an old station Which was built of wood and stone I assume there's renovation Could be an industrial zone I can't say why I must be there No one is supposed to know So I follow steps to nowhere It’s the way for me to go.”

This poem was inspired by the painting og Frederic Fiebig. I tried to upload the picture, but couldn't - I don't understand how to attach the pic to the poem.
