2 Chapter 2 Crossroads

I walk and walk on this tarnish road

filled with marbles and hopping toads

The sun scorched with a dazzling heat

making me red and sweat in hot darn breeze

I wore no sandals and walk barefoot

Blood and bruises with an aching tooth

But I cannot feel the pain that scorches me

For my mind was adrift somewhere, you see

I walked a few paces and saw others like me

Missing a few gadgets which we all can see

So we begin to trade with whatever we have

and fill our needs to continue ahead

A pair of sandals for a pound of rice

Or a compass with something would suffice

As we ask others when this road will end

We all nod and say, there's just one stop ahead
