Shout out to entirety a world of words.

You will find a silence greet you.

Amidst the stones that vicious time hurls,

You will lose that which was true.


Hundreds of words! A million thoughts!

But to be heard, you must first listen.


Build then an act of love and war.

Not an eye you may hope to catch.

And when it's cast down;all you stood for,

What evil plan may your desperate mind hatch?


Hundreds of acts! A million deeds!

But to be seen, you must first see.


Preach messages of brotherhood and love.

People in the streets would shun you.

Finally beaten, cast down and hurt,

What will you use the good ace to hew?


Hundreds of messages! A million men!

But to be followed, you must first obey.


You see, lofty men seldom achieve great deeds.

Through their ignorance a crashing end they will meet.

The great men: those who stand so tall

Are all, in their own view, really quite small!
