sea view

no clouds are moving under clearest sky
the ocean speaks to us of ancient woe
but we are trapped within the modern lie

those who have knowledge learn how to apply
the means to change most swiftly and most slow
no clouds are moving under clearest sky

we thought the meaning was so utter wry
all our words excellent and àpropos
but we are trapped within the modern lie

this is not something on which we rely
yet we must speak our piece before we go
no clouds are moving under clearest sky

granted the merest motion means we fly
into the greatest passion we could know
but we are trapped within the modern lie

and so we find the sweet baked in the pie
the greatest threat to what was status quo
no clouds are moving under clearest sky
but we are trapped within the modern lie
