I dont remember being born
I remember as a boy
Asking myself
Who am i
I asked my teacher
He could not tell me
I came home
I asked my mother
I asked my father
They gave me a name
My identity
I have purpose- i have direction
Who am i
When i solve the question of infinity
I will ask myself
Who am i
Am i the fool on the hill
A man of straw
Who am i
