Philosophies of a Hypocrite

Why strive for depth? A picture of one under waves Who drowns. He reaches for the stars from the depths, Waiting for a meaning to rattle his bones And propel him beyond the trees. But the trees hold the wisdom, And the ground holds the roots. Why go anywhere When it is always here And surrounds him? He closes his eyes And shakes his head, Believing here can't hold the power To rattle his fragile bones.
