The Blade

I am a blade of no ill repute, I'll never slice you, upwards I shoot,

Tall and thin though I am, I'm no animal nor am I a man,

I go where I please, here and there, some places I'm everywhere,

You may cut me, trim me, and pluck me when you're bored,

I claim the hills, the valleys, I claim the ground unscathed by man's wrath,

I am a blade, broad and straight, I'm always early and never too late,

You wage war and spill blood over me, You ruin me and give me life,

I go where I please mostly unhindered, you may fall on me and remain uninjured,

You have all seen me in one place or another for I do not hide, for I am better on either side,

I hold your world together but I am no hero, no one praises me, not one, zero,

Without my kind working together I would die in the simplest weather,

I am a blade strong and true, alone I am useless, nothing to prove,

I remain long after you've gone from this place, I do not boast, this is no race,

Nature will take it's coarse and eventually I will die, more like me will come and shoot for the sky,

The animals of the land bite me and eat me, some animals do so with haste, born anew within their waste,

A field bereft of my presence may seem like desecration, simply the result of a bovine and rumination,

I am the mighty blade by my own decree, I spread across the land as far as you can see,

I'm not trying to rule the world, I'm only being me.
