The endless search

 

The bachelor is searching for love
The monkey is searching for bananas
The gambler is searching for a royal flush
The bees are searching for honey

It is an endless search
Caught in a never-ending loop

The scholar is searching for knowledge
The yogi is searching for enlightenment
The poor are searching for money
The rich are searching for happiness

Caught in a never-ending loop
Searching in all directions

The pirate is searching for treasures
The sinner is searching for absolution
The aggrieved is searching for retribution
The crook is searching for redemption

Searching in all directions
Where will it end?

The dog is searching for a bone
The Olympian is searching for glory
The loner is searching for friendship
The old are searching for eternal youth

Where will it end?
This endless search

The politician is searching for power
The humanitarian is searching for compassion
The hungry are searching for food
The religious are searching for God

This endless search
Goes on and on

The detective is searching for a clue
The inquisitive are searching for answers
Life is searching for an end
And the end comes to an end
