1. Know that I am an ignorant man of conviction
Though I may have wasted the right of the scholar

2. Oppression may delay some who strive for it
Yet its vengeance lies with the oppressor himself

3. Why does the seeker of guidance roam the barren wilds
While another's pursuer has landmarks to guide him

4. And a man in his waking state lies vanquished
Yearning for worldly things with a dreamer's eye

5. The brother of resolve forever struggles with his nature
You see him warring though he seems at peace

6. A sick man asks the doctor about his complaint
Hoping to be cured though he is not healed
