Abandon Ship

Abandon Ship

Where does the ship sail?
The one that trusts the wind
And the choppy sea waves
Yet discardeth it's oars
To make haste?

Where does the ship sail?
Hands of whose oarsmen slip
And seek the limp rudder
Yet forget they the man
Who binds them?

Where does the ship sail?
The captain when dreams
And lusts for solid land
Yet a compass he's read not
Of dead needles?

Where does the ship sail?
Us lifeboats care not
And sturdy as we are
Yet swiftly ready for a call
Of "Abandon Ship!"
