A Portait of Knowledge
I saw a leaf fall
Then I heard the wind blow
I considered the small voice of nature and I considered it
Fortune has'nt smiled on me
Life has been diffcult to deal with
Knowledge brings me to the ledge and I step up and look over it
What is the image sup[pose to be like
I'm struck! My heart beats fast
Oh my goodness please listen to what i see here
A block of marble
A statue waiting to be created
Beware for what is laying underneath the surface
I turn to the next item
A Gold Chalice
On the lip is rubies, on the grip is emeralds
Oh now look
Theres a Angel
He's standing 120ft tall
And over there
Under the overhang of that slab of sandstone
I know there is a monster lurking and waiting
Now this scene is disrupted
Have you ever heard up close the roar of a lion
Raah!GRR!AHH! Now my eardrums are bleeding and I fall over the ledge
There is no Hand to catch me
I gaze up
I am Touched by the nuzzle of a unicorn
A leprachon runs right behind me
And spontaneously I yell out
"Ha! Now i got your rainbow, you can keep the pot of gold"
He comes back
He's heartbroken
He moans why have you done this
I point over his shoulder to the Gold piles
He slowly turns his head
I comment Now go dump out your pot of gold
