sages




an endless chain of sages
stretches through the ages
what they say again and again
is written on the head of a pin

but it is a big pin
so you can not win
If you say it is simple, you are fated
to be told it is complicated

if you ask for the ugly details
they will not fail
to laugh because you can not see
the beautiful simplicity

if you say you are, you are
if you say you are not, you are
i guess you just are
are you with me so far?

i am glad you have seen the light
so sit tight
the sage will see you by and by
and tell you everything you know is a lie
