I Am the Life Which I Seek

I’m the life which I seek
I may repeat one and repeat
I’m sightless, witless, senseless
In mad an old man, my life mate
I’m the life which I seek restless

Give me opportunity, everlasting employments
I’m skilled and knowledgeable
I see out of sight, sense out of sense
Let me find the positive, but I’m negative
I’m the life which I seek; proactive

Enough trees to seat out of sharp sun rays
A farm to cultivate, tough I’m armless
Come tomorrow, go today; you’ll appreciate
No more life better than me
I’m the life which I seek for me

They learn from me, predict in me
Wise enough, daily to laugh
I’m the life which I seek; I’m education.
