9 February 1999
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!The ambition of my vital and my mind
To become another Julius Caesar
Or Napoleon or Akbar
Compels You to swim in the sea
Of sorrows.
The aspiration of my heart
To become a sleeplessly self-giving
Child of Yours
Inspires You to swim in the sea
Of ecstasy.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
