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
