The Scholars Mirage

Within these halls of marble and of stone

I chase the secrets never shown

Scrolls and scripts, they call my name

In endless loops, I play the game

Equations dance across my mind

In formulas, I seek to find

A truth that lies beyond the page

A wisdom trapped inside this cage

I navigate this maze of thought

Believing wisdom can be taught

Faces fade, I lose the thread

Conversations left unsaid

Books stack high, they touch the sky

But still, I never question why

Is knowledge all there is to gain

When hearts grow cold and numb to pain?
