The Stone

See-
a stone on which we people stumble;
a rock on which we all shall fall.

though they be lifted to kings
and sit on velvet thrones
still shall the stumble and fall.

though they be Barons who laugh and sing
they to shall stumble and fall.

and we, through struggle and trouble and tears-
we too, shall someday soon,
stumble and tumble
and fall
