Inside the the deep cavern burns still
a flame that would not die.
A tree with overgrown branches exists
only to cover the flame.
And the flame has been the seed
that has birthed books of knowledge
wrapped in a burnished cloth of red
and carried by the evergreen branch
winged by the silver crowned messenger of the ancient wisdom tree

THE POWER OF THE BOOK
It is ex-telligence not intelligence which counts,
Through passed ancestors our knowledge mounts,
By those dead who left their wise footprints,
And gave us all our much needed im-provements...
