There is something that grows
Without water or food
Or help whatsoever
Something that grows exponentially
Much taller and faster with
Each passing year
Even faster with
Title of some sort
Head of anything big or small
Like a hot air balloon
Smoke on top of fire
Rising up and up and up
This being the cause
For so many fights
And self glory
Unwilling to let go
Unable to let go
Of the very thing
That keeps them outside
The promised land
