Can you understand my fight against Ignorance?
Armed with the requisite knowledge
I set out to wage war on Ignorance
Our common enemy is United
Indomitable on it's own ground

Assault after wearied assault I make
only to be repelled time and again
Broken and battered I give all
Every modicum of what I believe
Welling out of my heart and soul
Swelling out and cresting as an ocean wave
Reaching every corner of the world
Piercing your very being

Do you hear my call?
Have you girded yourself for war?
Will you give your life for a greater cause?

Now I go to my unmarked grave
to lie and wonder for eternity
HOW MANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND?

I will have my answer,
When I see you in the afterlife.
