The Ship - Novus Renascentia

Behold the ship, lost at sea,

It changes direction so frequently,

And I with them, new to sea-faring,

Sit and wonder...will we ever find our bearing?

And all of a sudden it comes to me,

In a moment of divine epiphany:


That a ship, captained by only its sailors,

Cannot navigate a sea, which no-one favors,

And thus I tell my un-happy crew,

The ship will not guide itself,

It is up to you.
