I need a teacher, an instructor,
To guide me through living.
To teach me how to close my eyes
And manage to keep them closed,
Hiding them from the observing moon.
I need them to teach me how
To view everyone as an equal
Rather than a combination
Of below and above me simultaneously.
I need them to tutor me on
The basic fundamentals of love
To explain to me how to care
And how to develop attachment.
I need them to instruct me
On the basics of life and how
To be a proper functioning human
So that maybe, I might find freedom,
Hidden under my indifference.
