lost cause

When? When will the world learn
How to expect a favor in return?
Why does everything we do
Need not benefit us too?
What’s wrong with spinning a lie,
Especially, if it’s how you get by?
There's nobility in a lost cause,
Lost at sea with no raft, no way out,
But fighting the waves without a second pause.
Wind gushes all about, wood's groaning like a pig snout.
