Read Time: About 1 Minute

Far out across the sand
and wiry brush,
where three rivers meet,
there is an island
with rock as red as blood,
and a single palm.

Below the ground, a cavern,
whose walls line with copper,
that leads to the end of the world.

I walked there when I was a boy,
and found the answer I would someday seek,
but the question was yet unborn.

I knew the words for so many years.
They haunted me most of my life,
bringing fever and madness close,
and shielding me from the light.

The words were bare,
unambiguous.
Set in stone.

I feared their truth.

The day would come.
And it came.
And with it, the question arose.

And it was dread.

Do not seek for answers.
For they will come.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
