Perspicuous Surroundings
From sunrise in the morning, to sunset at night,
concerning knowledge, I have an insatiable appetite.
For the body and soul, there is ambrosia in a bowl.
Generous servings have me attaining my goal.
Progressive thought, both systematic and arbitrary,
have all of my faculties in solidarity.
I must not succumb to facts with mawkishness.
Tediousness can lead one to soporific listlessness.
I can attain truth and success through perseverance.
The key to the lock is maintaining diligence.
All that is illuminated, I can see through open eyes.
Only with alert consciousness for living can I realize,
I am in propinquity to attaining life’s ultimate prize.
