HUNTING THE AIR

He won't listen to my sweet words
abhorrence substitutes obedience
I don't think he would subscribe to me
he loves to hunt the air, that is the life he lives

the air is meant to ease your journey
but you want to catch and possess it forever
a nincompoop indeed!
you keep closing your hand thinking you have caught it

you have been fooled!
nothing is found, your fingers mock you
he doesn't care if anyone is hurt
his face has been clouded as the cloud seals the illuminance of the sun

the air controls him now, he should be the one to do so
''up and down'', ''to and fro'', he flies
he thinks he's saturated, but he still has much to learn
the great rabbi will teach him

he lacks sapience as he continues to fail helplessly
''gbuaaaaa...'' he meets his waterloo today
the air assists the combustion as it supplies oxygen
he won't dare to hunt the air never again
