Don't think, don't sleep
When he was a child,One day
His father said to him:
“Don’t think, my child.
God never thinks.”
Since then, he never cared
To learn the art of thinking.
When he was a child,
One day
His mother said to him:
“Don’t sleep, my child,
God never sleeps.”
Since then, he never cared
To learn the art of sleeping.
