Analysis of The Seeker
If today is but future yesterday
And tomorrow future today
Then will it ever end -
The daily empty trend?
Will it ever get better?
Will time really tell?
Or is this how we lie
When it won't work out?
A truly timeless life is still
Digging hard where it stands
For those seeking elsewhere
Will find nothing there.
