The Philosopher's burden.

The Philosopher spoke in his nonchalance and spoke of the light within.
He said that he would find the reason why every single mote of dust shone.
When he made a simile out of it, he found his calling.
He hit this head and stared at the light that he so sought for,
he found the brightness that would blind him forever.

Finally,he cried out, "Oh Sun! But I was the one who gave you light!"
