Sitting on my mountains of dreams
I reflect on the past
and ponder the future

Four decades ago
I was full of innocence
piss and vingear
a terror to be reckoned with

Three decades ago
I saw the world as my oyster
to be conquered and changed
The future was bright and shiny

Two decades ago
I was daddy
A beacon
the hand that lead the way

A decade ago
My path was chosen
my life focused
and I was moving up

Today,
I sit on my mountain of dreams
hoping for a secure future
afraid to take the risks of
a decade ago
accepting a mundane reality

I sit on my mountain of dreams
letting my mind wander
what could have been
what should have been
what would have been

I sit on my mountain of dreams
getting a sore behind
