All my life they let me know<br /> How far I would not go<br /> But inside the beast still grows<br /> Waiting, chewing through the ropes<br /> Who are you to change this world?<br /> Silly boy<br /> No one needs to hear your words<br /> Let it go<br /> Carnivore, carnivore<br /> Won't you come digest me?<br /> Take away everything I am<br /> Bring it to an end


Welders grinding, sparks go flying,

Into the giant skies above

The smell of slag wafts through the air, into my nose

Sitting in a metal pipe, 

The heat of the arc on my arms

Countless sticks are in my lap

Turned to nubs by the welders wrath

They made America and anything you see

They’re makers, creators

Using the power of lightning to make buildings that scrape the sky

I’m one of them

Doesn’t matter what you use

Doesn’t matter if you

Just started, 

Or retired

We have the hands of a surgeon and the eyes of a sniper

Welding is one of my many hobbies so I decided to write a poem about it.
