Anthropology Unbound lyrics

A folder that the pages fall out

Spilling out in total disarry

Disorganized, aimless, unbound

A flashy cover, all that is without

No definition, no depth within

A flash in the pan, soon shelved

A well bound book, unadorned, timeless

A multivolume set, multifaceted, deep

A lifetime of new discoveries

Every chapter a varied volume

To be discovered in time's being

With a bit of patient comprehension

A child's book marred and worn

Colouring that strays the lines

Tossed aside and grown beyond

Still kept by those unknowing

Unable to stay in the lines

To see, to be those credited colours

Never fitting in, a diversion

The finest insight comes

From the simplest images shared

Wherein lies truth precious

Wisdom's bound leaves

Pages of history's procession

Such knowledge truly priceless

So many volumes to peruse

So little time to understand
