Understanding

A common thing is a lovely thing Like a lovely little Island So I want to thank English For providing some solid ground here It is not a given for one to understand You know that understanding is Something that simply comes To you The question left to ask by someone is Whether it is awareness or understanding That gains the upper hand When trying to estimate The meaning of your life And so you will find many Gurus Who will try to tell you that understanding Is no reward at all To make appeal to some of the most basic Yet some of the deepest principles of thought And while the Layman is still standing there Enthralled by the basics those who came before him Having already been said long before him He will abuse this stupefied state of the listener To plant his own catchy little piece of shit addendum Behind it And knowing just how to make it sound good So that it finds appeal to he who is now open He plants the whole notion on the doorstep Like a huge pile of crap for the entranced man To smell This perversion of approaching the basics From the back To sell it for some cool sayings to the masses Is a despicable art I guess you used To buy the cars you drove with And so I guess poison was an ironic method But I can see how you really pissed Some very smart people off Some people that actually really care Because I can see that you are no Socrates For even his Student Plato said: "Nothing without understanding would ever Be more beauteous than with understanding." And my anger is folly for: "There are two things a person should never be angry at, What they can help, and what they cannot." And so my message about his work is short You were cheap and you still take many people with you Down into the depths of the pit I thought I would say it here Where it could do him no hurt For although a man might be aware It is nonsense you are aware of If you do not understand and If you should think yourself aware Doing this while you know That you do not understand Then My old friend I must really reconsider If it was ever up to me to help you To begin with
