<p><em>The insight knows you</em><br>

<em>Lie still you are.</em></p>
<p><em>Elders know you</em><br>
<em>They pour their libations daily.</em><br>
<em>Kids play mould with your dust</em><br>
<em>While you smile on their innocence.</em><br>
<em>Long live! While you hold.</em></p>
<p><em>Lie still you are</em><br>
<em>The wicked throws its wrath</em><br>
<em>The creator pleads your wrath</em><br>
<em>You swallow in no kindred counsel</em><br>
<em>Lie still you are.</em></p>
<p><em>You witness of the Nature’s litany</em><br>
<em>The seer beyond places you here.</em><br>
<em>Do not take me in my youth.</em><br>
<em>When it comes that I still</em><br>
<em>Carry me still to the stillness of the still.</em></p>
