Ode To Rupi

The sheep all feast on milk and honey
it's empty and it's meaningless but it's packaged up just right

Words of legends go ignored 
in the shadow of this fraud
while the flock will head toward what they've been told to

Today everything seems watered down
the fakes have climbed the tree
it's all about who wears the crown
and runs from dignity

It seems the further back I go
the more treasure I find
treasure for the soul
treasure for the mind
