Persistence of the Mind
The train of thought as a continuum,
nourishes the minds of all who receive.
These fruits are ripe within this kingdom.
They fall within the scope of what I believe.
I receive knowledge at elders’ bequest.
In this mortal existence, fewer remain.
Searching continues as a diligent quest.
They achieve transcendence to a higher plane.
I exist within the earth’s limitations.
I gain and lose in countless transactions.
My life is involved in numerous occupations.
It knows no borders among the factions.
