The Philospher

Recollection the prophet seeks,

To spill his mind and,

Live his speech.

Upon his walls the writing glows,

A life to save,

Oh this he knows.

In his mind he knows what's right,

To live in vain,

And forget to fight.

Selfless beyond what is known,

He dies himself,

And leaves the throne.

Memories flying without a mind

And now he's dead,

To march the line.

Recollection the prophet seeked,

But instead he died,

With words to teach.
