Carpe Ventum

Worthless, worthless, says the preacher Self-important, self-taught teacher Worthless, worthless, says the buyer Yet your price was never higher You get it cheap, and start to boast And then leave nothing for the host But emperors are like their clothes Their what and whether no-one knows You take their treasure in your hand And feel your fist is full of sand You search for some security See things become, but never be Why seek to run a perfect race, If past the sun is only space? Would you rather face the end? Or live to chase the wind?
