Blades and shovels

 These were left on the course

Digging treasure for dreamers

they line up in queues

To get a piece of something

they saw someone else win

Big racks holding axes and shovels

they might as well be holding humans

For aren't we tools the lot of us

the more we do something the more we become that thing

Finally we retire being used less and less

These tools were left on the course

for cutting down trees

Digging holes

or just for someone's collection

Some of their blades still sharp

Easy to use

effective

others just blunt

but look powerful

And what are you?

Are you the shifter or the cutter?

Do you move things or cut them for your purpose?

Because there's no going back
