Lean On My Wisdom Poem by Raj Arumugam

Lean On My Wisdom



Let's start your journey into knowledge
and your destiny;
I can do it in 3 earthly steps
that gives you eternity


Lesson 1
You must all learn your ABCs
and I will teach you it all so easy
If I say A is B and W is S, it is so -
so every letter is the same as I say it


Lesson 2
And so every letter forms a word
and when you have learned the words
it is the same principle: if I say black is blue
It is so; sweet is bitter and bitter is table
when I say so
And flat is circle and salt is sugar
so that every word is the same as I say it
and so all are the same in my word


Lesson 3
You learn one and you learn all
and all you need to know is wait for me to say it
and so you see
you only need to repeat and to know
everything's all rolled into IT
And you need to know only I know IT


I take the burden of all the knowledge
and you simply hee-haw
IT's all so easy, this life and death
and living thing:
Just lean on my wisdom
