Two Stern Feet

Blueprints etched in blood
One egg splits starts building upon design
Then shipped out the womb
Born a sum some trillions cells to bond
So one heart beats, bond so one heart beats

Months will yield a mind
Bent in sprawl and the struggle to stand begins
Persistently spins
With weights unruly shifts and turns to crawl
Until it stands, crawls until it stands

Everyone has a life they’d hate piss away
And the body and the heart beat on with only one concern
Learn to stand and stand to learn

All is left to draw upon the windings days
The joys the strife
A weathered life
And the peace the Lord might grant a weary man
Born a sum some trillions cells to stand
On two stern feet
Stand on two stern feet
