The
men of steel
Of
iron will
Those
who are known to be
Rock
solid
You
know one
Or
many
They
are close to you
Pillars
of the community
Or
the go-to guy at the job
And
they cannot be trusted
The
incorruptible man
Is
too sure of himself
In
the way scientists are sure that
They
have it all right
That
there is no big guy up there
Looking
down at us from his cloud
Who
knows
Maybe
there is
Always
maintain a sliver of doubt to
Leave
yourself open to any possibility
To
expect the unexpected
The
incorruptible man has
Years
before made his bed
Locked
into his highway
And
built brick walls on either side
To
avoid any possible diversion
While
the rest of us
The
best of us
Are
riding a unicycle along the beach
Sharks
on one side
The
open road on the other
And
Following
the sound of the circus.
