He is gone...
He will never return...
He promised me all theworlds knowledge...
If i just sat in his place while he stretched his legs...
This was many years ago...
Now i realize my simple gesture of grace
was the cruel pawn of a greedy soul...
The old man is not to return...
It was never his intention...
Now i am the old man...
From my place high above
I have seen everything this pitiful world has to offer.
He did keep his promise...I now know all
but iam a mere prisoner.
I, like the old man before me am bound to this hellish seat by my promise not to move until his return.
Now i wait for the next kind soul to ascend this peak.
so that i too,
may stretch my legs.

This is cool. I'd rather stand when you look at it like that.

BD, this is my favorite one of yours. It reminds me of the story of Atlas, holding up the world. I love you.
