The intellect sharpened against grit stones
Lethal transformation and glint of menace
Avenging years of silence with unreasonable beliefs
Severing ties with true knowledge of hermits
Who have been banished to dwell among mountains
To drink from the streams and meditate in silence
Here, mayhem by the lethal intellect continues
To capitalize on the capital of human labor
Wiry sinews strained from the rapid lifestyles
Wise men are never consulted but kept away
For fear that true knowledge will enlighten the souls
Blunt the excessively sharpened intellect
Causing more harm by uprooting true essence of life
A blessing has been misinterpreted by all
The hermits pray in silence to change the providence©
