fifteen

if you want to be famous
work hard
study the markets
follow your dream

if you want to be pious
pray hard
study the scriptures
follow the still, small voice

if you want to hold power
train hard
study the crowd
follow the well-trodden path

if you want to join Drastus
forget it
it's just one guy
following his instincts

if you want to come along
on his path to glory
you can't
you can just watch him go there

and hear what he has to say
as he falls through the air
or emerges from the cave
shellshocked
