Knowledge

Only secret could be found
And a treasure discovered
But many mysteries are untold
Yet by no man, or people of old
Neither the oracle nor the gods
My worries, by them could not be solved
So I journeyed a journey to a far land

                                  
Though I sojourned in the city of knowledge
Seeking to find it for decades and ages
It is hard to get not even in the college
It may not be found in the people of age
Not freebie from a friend or heritage
Sometime, can be found in a cage

On my way back coming home
An old man I found sitting alone
Beside him I sat for a while
Just to rest before I continue the mile
But as people passes by none seems to care
None want to be friends for he was a low life
I honored him with a piece of bread
We ate, took a wine in the same cup

My hand he held and said…
Come! Follow me! Follow my path!
I will show you the secret of the world
I am the infinite Deity
I am knowledge
I am God
