You have to sacrifice and be reborn—
to enter the mountains of the new frontier.
You have to leave the burdens o' forlorn
beliefs behind—to be, a pioneer.
You cannot reach the heavenly abode
by lying down and being, just a stargazer.
You need to fight the gods, and burn a road
into Olympus—to be, a trailblazer.
There is no other path to victory—
no way to cheat the mountains of desire.
Your heart and spirit must release and free
the burning power of eternal fire.
~Tony Lightning, 2024
