Philosophical Protectors
I sleep by day.
I work by night.
I am always restless
Even in the light.
I try to rest.
Rest is blocked.
All this knowledge
I do not want.
I understand all.
I get credit for little.
I try to teach.
They tell me not to mettle.
Because of my biology and philosophy
I am ignored and discredited.
Even when I try to compromise
I am shot down.
My soul is ancient.
My body is younger.
Physical appearance
Tends to block the spread of knowledge.
Do not dismiss those young of face.
They may be ancient inside.
They may be your guardian.
They are the eternal philosophical protectors.
