The Seeker

I am a student,

A seeker of the truth.

I yearn for new knowledge each day.

I open my mind,

Which is more than most can,

And seek someone to show me the way.

However, those I find

Have limited minds,

Filled with dogma, rubbish and such.

Whatever limited truth they might have

Certainly won't help me much.

Because I am kind

And pity the small,

I feel sorry for all that I see.

This poor, insignificant, bigoted bunch

Had better start learning from me.

Because I am great,

And because I am wise

I know there never will be

A more humble, sensitive, misunderstood

Example for mankind than me.

For I am a student,

A seeker of the truth.

I yearn for new knowledge each day.

I open my mind

Which is more than most can,

To find someone to show me the way.
