I don't know what to say should this world
just fade away

what goes on beyond these 2000 square meters
is something beyond my measure

in the hearts in the minds of those loved and lost
and the price we pay, at what cost

to know, to go, to leave this town
and throw fate and faith to the wind

in broken minds and hearts only One can mend.

The world I explore from this laptop screen
is bigger than we can imagine in all combined dreams

to apply, to chase a career around the globe
a click here a click there, what may come
as this world is spun to where you are.

And fate is fickle, my friend
beyond a flag of hammer and sickle

red red from all the blood shed
from this land to the next

what dreams may come
what soft skin is won
when half a world is covered
and when the search is done.

Your words cross all boundaries, my friend. Indeed, you are a "smith"

Aand you ended this piece beautifully.
