On Wings of Thoughts and Knowledge

I went to school to learn the world's mysteries
I went to colleges to expand and clarify what I learnt in school
I went to the University to expand and clarify what I learnt in colleges
I went to Sunday School to learn the way of the Lord
I went to Church to expand what I learnt in Sunday School
I went to the children dormitory to learn the ways of my tribe
I went to the elders to expand and clarify what I learnt in the dormitory
I went to intellects to know more and see clearer.

On wings of thoughts and knowledge

I was there when the oceans drank Atlantis
I was there when the world recovered from the Great Flood
I was there before real people and events turned into legends and myths
I was there when Calculus worked on his maths
I was there when Aristotle and Plato wrote their Theses
I was there when the alchemist tried to turn lead into gold
I was there when the Son of God walked
I was there when a religion of peace killed millions.

I have seen men turned into gods
I have seen women turned into goddesses
I have seen the rise of rational thoughts
I have seen gods disowned by those who make them
I have seen goddesses disowned by those who make them
I have seen the rise of new gods and goddesses of technology and money
I have seen the adulation of people for these deities and the loss of reason.

I have been to Paradise
I have been to Hell
I have been to the in-between of worlds
I have been to the planets and the galaxies
I have been to the deepest oceans
I have seen the universe born with a big bang
I have seen the universe die
I have seen a new universe born from the cosmic dust of the old.

On wings of thoughts and knowledge

All things happen as they should be
Knowledge as the child of thought
Confusion as the child of knowledge
Clarity as the child of confusion
Promiscuity of ideas as the child of clarity
Strife as the child of promiscuity of ideas
The death of the world as the child of strife
The birth of a new world from the death of the old.
