Leaves of Thought

Let us while away the hours

Let us waste the day away

Let us pluck the wild flowers

Leaves of thought that lead astray

Let us tarry not too long 

Lest plans may form from out the wild

Let us carry out our song

Like widowed wife or newborn child

Let us tack up every whim

Like misinformed malcontents

Let us rejoice in every sin

Let humor be our recompense 

Let us be called generation

Let our apathy and lust define

Let us shake loose all foundation

Let’s get drunk on pixel wine

Let us sit beside each other

Let us hide in the dark alone

Let us buy ourselves another

Leaf of thought to build our throne

Let us bleed in desperation

Let us sew the emperor’s clothes

Let us fall to expectation

But never, ever let us hope

Let us hope and we will smite you

Let us dream and we will rise

Let us build and we’ll break right through

Leaves of thought that blind your eyes

Let us learn and we will conquer

Let us ask and we will know

Let us seek and we’ll move onward

Leaves of thought to reap and grow
