At freezing point she melted,
Like one held at gunpoint,
Sweating profusely in cold weather,
And the heart pounding heavily,
A third eye just saw a ghost,
Shapeless,
Lurking around her in the dark,
While strolling the unknown street,
The very first time ever.

Let them continue to sing her praise,
In the presence of those who knew her weakness,
Times when she had fidgeted,
Somewhat a rat that fell into ice,
Painless,
The cutting edge of the judgement,
Knowing all their witty ways,
Barking like a toothless bulldog,
That's their pattern.

Yesteryear is where they rely,
To nail the coffin and thrown it aboard,
Never to see her threat again,
Every other she took,
Innocently she progressed to the top,
Motionless,
A foot at a time but with care,
Let him that thinks he has arrived,
Thread with care for the earth slips.

To an unknown land,
Unknown person,
Unknown government,
Unknown people,
Unknown gunmen,
Unknown foxes,
Who hide in sheepskin,
To perpetuate a dastardly act,
In the name of taking power.

Unknown delegates,
With much vested powers,
An oligarchy that is fading away,
With the passage of time,
They moved into extinction,
Unknowingly,
But they still hold faith,
Like they'd relevant I'm decades to come,
Unknown to them,
The die is cast.

With this as the walk continued,
No man knows tomorrow,
Few that tried forecasting it,
Only prepare their Waterloo,
Drinking from the broken saucer,
To the folly of men,
Some derive wisdom,
When the fall is utterly,
And to rise again a battle that cannot be won.

Read these lines again,
If you seek wisdom,
Do not read it with the eyes of a layman,
Mortals must skim the surface,
Led men would look deeper,
To find the unknown,
Seekingly,
Learning understanding,
Like seeking honey hidden in the rocks.

If you were told would you believe,
That the hurdle of man is not much,
They only do not believe,
All our gathering is worthless,
Since life has an end,
And would reach an unknown destination,
Just be fair,
Purposefully,
Your great deeds will speak on your behalf.

Do you believe now that everything is unknown,
There is a limit to wish you can know,
Tie your girdle you that seek wisdom,
Where were you when the sea gate was mounted,
Tell me you know and see more reasons,
To see that you know nothing,
Things that exist like they be not,
Seek ye wisdom,
From things, unknown.
