The Statue

In the lovely park
By the lonely path
Stood a statue grey
Marble carved intricately
The pose was lowly
Eyes looked ever tired
Ears showed awareness
Yet the hands hidden

THE BOOK
Whats this I see
Covered by leather
Bound by roots
Marked by earth

Yet those who seek it
Are covered in gold
Hair adorned by jewel
Clothes of pure silk

Ah the book of wisdom
Or the book of emotions
Uh the book of science
No the book is knowledge

Knowledge is the gate
The first step to it
Was to lose power
But the gains greater
