Self Sacrifice

10 Aug 2005

Quraz
In a world of rats everyone concentrates on pulling you down,
In this over-crowded barrel of pain
everyone is biting, maiming and killing,
Trying to keep themselves alive,
They trample you 
and leave you bloody and broken on the floor.
I thought you might need a friend,
Someone strong to keep the stench of carrion off your body,
To lift your head above the quagmire
and to help you breathe.
So I hold out my hand
And with your last ounce of strength
you clasp it firmly and I help you up.
Don’t worry my friend,
Even though we’re up to our noses in shit
you can always stand on my shoulders.
