An Absurdity of Sky Castles

To scheme and plunder - practised stealth Cheating others - greater wealth Sacrificing righteous self Castle in the sky To study deeply - gaining knowledge Spending life as if in college Outside world do not acknowledge Castle in the sky To gamble deep on crooked games Risking all - our loss reclaim Swapping life for debtor's chains Castle in the sky A slight, a snub, an unjust slur Justice, vengenge, we have sworn All is lost from total war Castle in the sky To base your faith on mere hearsay Hailing prophets - let us pray Until at last their flock betray Castle in the sky To toil and labour without rest Employment junkie - be obsessed Squeezed of life then dispossessed Castle in the sky Castles here and castles there Building castles in the air Foolish ways become nightmares Castles fill the sky (Entry to Building Castles In The Sky contest)
