With A Cup of Nectar

With a cup of nectar in your lazy hands
You say you can bring the sky down at your feet
You can destroy all the blazing suns with your wisdom
Like the ancient sages you walk down the yellow river
The ocenic waves shrink at the knock of closing hours
Splendour of beauty speaks in alien voices
Yet you never forget the burning fire
That stokes your hunger for more for hungry soul
As if immortality is your right to wield the power of wisdom.

Why have you known yourself?
Why have you lived up to your wisdom?
What have you known for yourself?
Eternity calls for more truth, eternity subjugates you
Your immortal desires kill you in your sacred quest
The quest that drives you home for nothing
The quest that ends nowhwere to explode your hunger
Yet truth will never awaken you to a sense of forgivenness.

With a cup of nectar
You can live up to your immortality
But the eternity will not absolve you of your life's predicament
Your wisdom will remain with you but not the truth
The truth will dig its own grave
When your immortality reaches the empire of heavenly bliss.
