"Ancient Alexandria, |
|
Site of cumulative knowledge, cradle of enlightenment |
|
Levelled to the ground by the children of the crucified one, |
|
Wiped away in blindness..." |
|
The library, I have seen its shade |
|
Wittnessed how dignity and wisdom did fade |
|
Ignorance! The flames of arrogance... |
|
An act of indifference towards what was in our hands |
|
And turned to dust |
|
Look to the stars, the mirror of the past |
|
Now you seek to learn what in those flames did burn |
|
The cosmic secrets will be revealed to me |
|
The pyramides donate their knowledge of eternity |
|
At astronomical dimensions I have glanced |
|
We will regain it when mankind has advanced |
