''' The Mountain '''



There was a man who thought he could accomplish anything

He had hunted ferocious beasts across the world

And amassed treasures both rusted and gleaming

But though he had conquered chaotic jungles and orderly empires

He wanted more; he wanted to conquer the earth itself

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">So he traveled to Nepal, a land filled with rocky spires

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">And there he saw his prize

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">A mountain so massive and majestic

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Its sight could hypnotize

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The locals warned him, none of its climbers had survived

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">But this didn’t stop him; it only made him want it more

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">For if he backed down, his ego would feel deprived

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">And so the sherpas lead him up the mountain

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The sherpas feared for their lives

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">But the glee the man felt, he could hardly contain

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">On the mountain, the bones of men slumbered

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The man saw them as feeble and sad

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">For a stronger man wealth and fame waited to be plundered

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Higher and higher he went, as the sherpas began to plead

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">For him to stop and return to safety

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The man grew angry, demanding they leave and watch him succeed

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">They left him to his fate

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">With them gone he began to ascend

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">But as he felt the howling win, his mind started to debate

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Whether or not to return to safety below

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">He soon discarded this thought

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">In fact his drive seemed only to grow

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Inside of his heart, there burned a raging fire

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">However, this flame began to wither

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">In the great mountain’s ire

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">His vision began to blur

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">And when he prayed for strength

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">His words were a slur

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Crumpling to the ground covered in ice

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Only while he lay there

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Did he begin to heed the people’s advice

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">And so another man died

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Trying to conquer the unconquerable mountain

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">In a foolish quest driven by pride.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Coming Soon, a poem about Godzilla :)
