Poem
The city of knowledge is burning Crushed are all the houses of learning Under the siege of the city of information and the city of ignorance For the two have joined together to destroy gnosis The gatekeeper has been stabbed in his head The enemies and the traitors bloodied the rivers red Decapitating the institutions Presenting misleading solutions Leading the inhabitants to a seeming ablution Only chastising them with their own desire But the sands beneath the city are ever shifting The knowledge the city bequeaths is spirit-lifting And while blood has run down the beard of the gatekeeper There are millions ready to avenge as the battle gets steeper My weapon is a sheathed award Precautionary dissimulation is my sword I am protecting of the secret knowledge of my Lord No burning fire has the strength to cut our cord And as they break the hands of the crowd And cut the tongues of the proud Our heart remains the clairvoyant organ of might This organ is a sealed book, hidden in the darkness of night And divine light Will extinguish the burning fires and quench our desires As the new gatekeeper is put in place Fully dismantling the hemorrhaging cities of ignorance and information Inaugurating all in the gnostic station
