Reach

What are we search for?

Up sleeve cigarettes and better living through chemistry.

Looking at the stars, inaction we fall for the grifter's pitch

Didn't you hear? The search is over

A man in white found the stone

The elixir

 

Promising perfection the politician pours pompous profanities while princes pause for prudence and the purser pushes prophetic pleas of profit. Pure precedent presented fresh to the world.

 

 

And we cry "what say do we have in these matters?"

 

I will cry no more

No more will I feel helpless

For I have all the power in my world

If the heavens would rain fire

I shall command the seas to rise

I will stretch out my limbs

roots growing deep, deep down into the raw earth

And when the star appears in the heavens

Reach to chant its praise.
