The leaves fall
Try not to follow
But if you do
Make sure you’re not hollow.
Plants die, and so will you
But we have the mind to know that it’s true.
Plants just do, they do what they’re told
We do what we want until we get old.
Nature tells us, and we listen for a while
But that will only get us as far as a mile.
We decide to go further, because of our fervor
And by the end of the day, we end up worlds away.
