David Wirsig - Once Upon a Wilderness

Once upon a wilderness, quiet and complete
Serpent with a silver tongue, fruit upon the tree
With a single choice he fell
They saw another side of themselves

Now into the pit, until you both forget
The beauty that you saw
Bear the pain of birth, dig into the earth
Till it 'till it's raw

Darian was seventeen when he ran away
He don't need a holy tome to know he's not a saint
Bent beneath the overpass
With tremors in his voice he asked
In between your prayer, have you time to spare
A penny or a word?
When you go to kneel, don't it ever feel
Just a bit absurd?

Is it for the greater good, for the greater love
For the love of God?

Woe to he without a shield from his doubt;
Who shivers when it's cold
While the pious and devout tell him all about
Conditions of his soul

It's for the greater good, for the greater love
For the love of God
