I read and re-read tomes of books
To unearth how to please the beloved
And yet as I sat on top of a mountain of books
I saw the stream of knowledge flowing below
As I climbed down to drink the pure water
I saw the beloved climb up another mountain
The beloved stood on a mountain of theoretical knowledge
And built a wall of ego all around to block everyone
There was a moat full of crocodiles like anger and jealousy
And from there the beloved started the life of a despot
Thirsty and angry the beloved was locked in
Looking at me from above,refused to heed to my calls of concern
The beloved looked only at the harsh barbs that came
And not at the love which made me say things
You fail to hear me not because you are deaf, oh beloved!
You fail to hear me because you consider it beneath yourself to hear me out!
I wait encamped at the stream, waiting for the beloved
To shatter the walls, destroy the moat and come down
I wait day and night for the beloved to reason with me
And to come down and quench the insatiable thirst for knowledge
To unearth how to please the beloved
And yet as I sat on top of a mountain of books
I saw the stream of knowledge flowing below
As I climbed down to drink the pure water
I saw the beloved climb up another mountain
The beloved stood on a mountain of theoretical knowledge
And built a wall of ego all around to block everyone
There was a moat full of crocodiles like anger and jealousy
And from there the beloved started the life of a despot
Thirsty and angry the beloved was locked in
Looking at me from above,refused to heed to my calls of concern
The beloved looked only at the harsh barbs that came
And not at the love which made me say things
You fail to hear me not because you are deaf, oh beloved!
You fail to hear me because you consider it beneath yourself to hear me out!
I wait encamped at the stream, waiting for the beloved
To shatter the walls, destroy the moat and come down
I wait day and night for the beloved to reason with me
And to come down and quench the insatiable thirst for knowledge
