The Road to Infinity

a CEO selling capitalism
she is quite fat, and wears a large amount of gaudy jewelery
she tells me I will die a pauper
walk on, walk on

a professor selling knowledge
one hand holds a microscope, the other holds a textbook
he tells me my dreams are impossible
walk on, walk on

a soldier selling duty
proud, immaculate, inflexible
he tells me I am committing treason
walk on, walk on

a holy man selling religion
prostrate before the Lord
he tells me God hates sinners such as myself
walk on, walk on

a woman selling love
beauty beyond all measure
she tells me she alone is my purpose
walk on, walk on

a philosopher selling truth
a vacant stare and an arrogant smile
he tells me my destination does not exist
walk on, walk on

I crest a hill and see the road stretch to infinity
walk on, walk on
and never look back
