Thinking

Rule almighty power harmoniously!

Let your magic stream flow luxuriantly

May a place of learning be our sweet country

Let not thinking remain rapt but inhumane

Were we to inspire all, we would be worthy

Shepherding of the soul, is it not mercy?

Even if a teacher were a visionary

With no arms and no wings, thinking cannot fly!

Liberty is power, a blessing by God

If only we held it, cause would have us awed

Even in its shadow, it would make whole city nod

Mind your manners with God!  Thinking is a rod!  

Go carve a shroud of stone, bury the devil

See who comes to that grave and who will revel

Pilgrim's no gunfighter?  Who's on the level?

Sweeten your well-being!  Refresh your thinking!

Man is a wholesome soul, you must understand

Spirituality is not fairyland

You must learn about truth, and always expand

Make it your dwelling place! A deep thinking space!

For schooling our people relied on advice:

"Let worth rise" said fathers, "Its a place so nice!"

"Be the zeal for justice" said mothers, "Think twice!

Give bravery a chance!  Thinking is a dance!

Let's find a good person: Do you know someone?

How do we shape such grace as a favored son?

"Homeland is joy!" I say, "It breeds fun with charm!"

Its enough, is it not?  But thinking is shot!

Were a path to learning personality

Virtue would be a path to morality

Cultivating sharp minds is not real easy

Let depth accumulate!  Rise thinking, create!

Let's take action and say: Go adjudicate!

Don't sell your intellect nor accommodate 

Sing against injustice and alleviate

          Shelter? Don't fret about!  Thinking is your rout!

To ignorant justice is just a used ruse

Find a market for it and sell it to Zeus!

Strong gift the most to rich who overproduce

Don't be stingy at heart!  Thinking is an art!

Woe!  To you, poor mankind!  You're not immortal!

Get to know yourself well, portal-to-portal

Spiritually reach, taste the dark sweet whortle

Be a guide of accord.  Thinking is your award!
