a few powered-steam explorers
out here in the wild fields, rangin' far
and wide to heal, and close to bar
myself from harm, and hardly jarr
these folks that follow, folks that mar
the beauty of an early sun, i'm finished
with my early run, set to mature
gradually over aeons, i endure
unstoppable but by my hand
I order to my soul's command
the essence of my exploration
over years of great privation.
