Armed |
Armed with the thought of being God |
I respectfully decline |
There wasn’t really very much money |
And the work was awful hard |
But we’ll get by |
By the skin of our teeth |
If we look at my denial |
Well now here we go |
We’re still on bloody trial |
Filled with the scent of lilac gold |
And wandering bazaars |
Brought with love and simple chores |
From hoping lands afar |
Sent with characteristic joy |
A value that is lost, embossed |
While we sit here |
They are still |
Alive and teeming, millions |
Struggling for the right to life |
In desert homes of drifting sand |
Or darkly gleaming light |
Out in space |
No mouths to feed |
Just searching questing minds |
They find |
While they’re finding |
They are coldly kind |
