EXHAUSTED SCHOLARS

ALONG THE ROAD AS HISTORY ERECTS DEFIANT CHAINS,
AND NOBLE FAMILIES SUPPLANT UPSTART COUNTRIES FROM THEIR VEINS,
CANST THOU SPEAKETH OF COMPASSION WHILST SURROUNDING SKIES,
BLUSTER FORTH WITH VEHICLES AS OLD AS YOU OR I.
FOOLISH,FOOLISH,FOOLISH,HAST THOU SEEN BETTER DAYS?
CANST THOU EVEN IDEALIZE THY WAY OUT OF THIS MAZE?
FOR IF TO YOU I SPEAK A WORD AND IT SEEMS LOWLY TO BE HEARD,
SEND THESE MIRED MISSIVES TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF GLORY,
NO MAN CAN,WITH UNSEEN PEN,DISGUISE A SIGHTLESS STORY.
