A Fable For Jacob
A Fable For Jacob
A child seeker sought erroneous assumptions
He read from a tale of Egyptian mummies
And, by night, the child saw beyond man's wonder
Putting two and two together, though, at school he slumbered
And the Hieroglyphs and holograms came alive
When his room began to shake and intensely thunder
Some thought the boy was strange and murmured
And his parents believed; he was rudely out numbered
But all that he wanted was to sit unencumbered
And wondrously ponder all mysteries asunder
**** Note *****
The image you would normally see is one of an elder man, much like God, or Father Time searching a library of ancient artifacts
