Burden On The Shoulders

as the weight of the burden
on the shoulders increases
one develops a trend

an evolution comes
saving you from ruin

now on stronger arms
and bigger bones
the weight becomes lighter

for this is what life is all about
the more burdens there are
the stronger we become

with more rain
the thirst of the earth too deepens

in automation
the balance seeks its own scale
