Humor drier than the desert

Whose sands swirl in his eyes,

Where there's a hidden testimony

Of someone else's grandest lies.


Build a house, plant a tree

To make one's mark in today

- however, others' souls

Have led his goals astray.


The right path, yet with a burden

In the form of ropes tied to both hands,

His eyes of set sand still tell the tale

Of why he refuses to exist in bands.
