Poem Title:
Poem
Master, he asked We were told of a man Who was higher than the tower The one with influence and wealth The one they called Enigma Whose wealth transcends the ocean That resides amongst the Kings That priests, in the cities sought as God His blessings, effective than the oracles But him, we did not meet His fortress we were told is lost To them, the Master replies: But to you I once told Your scriptures do confirms That what benefit is it a man That life he gains but lost his life There was no enigma, in truth In you resides the myth and the truth The trust in doubt, unto yourself In the mind of man lives a myth Of wealth, influence and power Proves that man will never see In him he made a slave to himself When he made a man a paradox Briefly he paused, then continues: For all man in riddles he lives The enigma of himself and of him In a lion lives a bitch, It hunts to kill, not sin But in a dove lives the peace, To peck, the grains and nest But dove sees nothing but himself Like lion to reign in its colony Let it resides in you, the enigma The powerful and the influence The rich that priests worship The influence that judges fear For if a man agrees to a man. Or a man to another, his power The man lives to other, a slave So, I say unto you The world is you and you, the world That in you lives enigma, your mind The beginning of your complications That which your scripture once forewarns For enigma lost his fortress The fortress since been forgotten Like your scripture, his life he lost Let it not be a mistake That I said your enigma you kill Nay, but that you are the enigma In that and which you choose And that which they, sage do thought The enigma they said once lived Was truth, because in you he lives You, he awaits to wake and own The enigma is mind of you That will sits you amongst the Kings When your wealth transcends the ocean. But dies when your mind failed to wake
