Educated Will
no more reaching for the stars
I can not keep ignoring my Fathers will
the stars are too difficult to reach
too confusing in their configuration
I do not like nor advocate this system
I understand it is of the majority
and I am not
so many one-track minds
so eager in their endeavors
I curse them in their foul-being
but I am not exactly well
I too have a one-track mind
perhaps I have conformed to my own will
against my Fathers will
