The reluctant stone

I would gladly lead.

For I remember

Being born for that.

I will joyfully play your hero,

Inspire your hearts

And save our children.

For I remember my training.

I was supposed …

    To inspire. And lead us all,

    To glory.

I should avenge your passing, mother.

But my senses were cut,

Deep to the bone.

And I wander the deserts.

    Since.

    All alone.
