Voyage

VOYAGE we got to the shore with a common goal to score who sees us through the vast? the lot was cast it fell on goat to paddle the boat afloat never was such a story told but who could be bold to question the rat-arsed gods whose empty heads are wisdom pods yea the gods were too wise never to have thought twice to know a goat can't concentrate when a bag of grain is a boatmate deep in the water's deep all passengers left to weep the grains. o the grain got goat's sight drained the water gave a wink we were about to sink anytime the water frowned goat sat down for a human compatriot to drown insane goat leading poor souls towards a common goal left some souls to perish for mere maize to flourish the journey. dreadful journey was to the island of honey we started long ago but not even a fourth way thro to save maize is goat's aim forgetting the reason why we came we were deceived we were deceived our fathers thought on seeing the gods we've seen the Supreme Being the Supreme Being never lies He, the Almighty One never dies the deceitful gods lie the mortal gods die!
