the lesson learnt

we're all defended by a simple rule
no action can endure beyond its time
purposes are not acquired in school

one who knows all is the truest fool
for although any answer is sublime
we're all defended by a simple rule

our language is a mere service tool
abetting or punishing every crime
purposes are not acquired in school

all humans sit on an uncertain stool
one tiny slip and all are in the slime
we're all defended by a simple rule

a wind will blow now warm now cool
all wait for sunrise to begin our climb
purposes are not acquired in school

of all our gifts this is the very jewel
story is known when we reach our prime
we're all defended by a simple rule
purposes are not acquired in school
