At the age of 3 a young man Name of Albert Well Albert read a poem Albert always was a bright boy At 5 Albert was sent to a special school Along with special kids To get special lessons From special teachers brilliant men from over many seas Presidents and Premiers Kings and Queens All visited albert and listened to him speak Albert won many Awards As he grew older He cured diseases Still he remembered the poem ---------------------------- A POEM This Poem concerns two men One man holds great wisdom To him is given the knowledge To him is known the meaning of life Yet he crys always. He meets by chance a man A learned man with knowledge Of Heaven and of Earth Yet he is terminally curious The two reminice for age binds them yet all through the talk the wise man cried as if in a great pain At the end of a long evening The learned man asked why the wise man was so unhappy, the wise man answered thusly "I have the knowledge of all, I have perfect understanding and know the great meaning of life" "If I should stop crying, I should surely die" The wise man asked for this great knowledge when it was refused they argued Eventually the wise man who was weak relented, And told the learned man his secret Now the learned man cries forever ------------------------------------------- So Albert decided At the age of 21 to search for the answer that the wise man knew He went to the library It did not help He visited many priests and took many drugs Finaly in despair, Albert a man of science art and math Told his many friends that he had found the answer the later found him dead in his baths with his wrists slit ------------------ Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

Now that was a frightening end for anyone on the path of knowledge. Interesting story though... DB ------------------ When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free. --------Hendrix |
