The Search

We search

for that which is hidden.

We yearn

for the things we don't need.

We seek

for a way to obtain them.

We're not satisfied

unless we are feeding our greed.

We search

for that which is hidden.

We yearn

for a life oh so grand.

We seek

for a way we can force it.

But that life

is out of reach, out of hand.

We search

for that which is hidden.

We yearn

for a following throng.

We seek

for the people to fill it.

Yet these people

recognize us as wrong.

For we searched

what was before us.

And we yearned

for things all around us.

We sought

for what we thought had escaped us.

And all that time

it was something we had.
