To the scramble of cities and the crowded streets We return, for these places have bound us. We descend from the conquered mountain peaks, Leaving our hearts in the mountains. So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights! Many times I have proven this speech, For the only thing that is better than heights, Is the height that I haven’t yet reached! Who would want to be left all alone in a mix? To descend while the heart starts to revel?-- Yet, we left from the conquered mountain peaks-- For even Gods desended from heaven. So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights! Many times I have proven this speech, For the only thing that is better than heights, Is the height that I haven’t yet reached! Many beautiful songs in their honor were penned And the mountains beg us to stay. For a year or forever-- but we have to descend, We must always return, either way. So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights! Many times I have proven this speech, For the only thing that is better than heights, Is the height that no one has reached! |

Good work. This looks and sounds very much like a song. I really enjoyed the 5th stanza. "WRITING IS EASY. ALL YOU DO IS STARE AT A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER UNTIL DROPS OF BLOOD FORM ON YOUR FOREHEAD." Gene Fowler |
