The one
It manifested itself
In the world
It left all signs
For the ones who see
The ones who listened
The ones who took a moment
And there it was, enlightenment
In the realisation
the ones who who saw
Spoke humbly
Holding onto nothing
Giving away everything
So businessmen heard them
Memorised some of their words
Sold them as holy
Priced the promises
Called the way a religion
Shaped the one
Gave it an image
And sold it
To the ones who never seek the one
But the ones who seek comfort
In not searching
