The Load

Life is about learning to carry our load
And weaving the threads of our path 
For, the world is so profound and broad 
And we can't build a glory out of wrath 

We must learn to be still and chill out 
For, in comfort, fairly well, we can think 
And to wipe all the shadows of doubt 
For, success lies afar from those who blink 

We must learn to take charge of our own 
Without blaming others for our wrong 
We must learn to hone hard our stone
And choose wise where we really belong 

"What we really need to learn as humans is to take responsibility for ourselves."
