Dirigible of servility
Inflated to protect homeland shores
Flammable ego's gases
Conscripted to floating fortress
Agreement and cooperation
Seem destined progress' foe
Yet conquering rings false
As defense balloons futility
Purpose origin undefined
Will's project indecent
Unless tamed to adopt new metaphors
Courageous journey compass points
Frozen lakes bridge land
Tenuously creaking underfoot
Serve the risk not idea
To foreign lands endeavor
Follow the distant custom
Comply the uneasy posture
Draw near blurry strangers
Holding fear's shaky heart
False predictions spice the soup
Fireside shared hunger revealed
Conflicting souls surrender
Balloon turned open vessel
