Slimmed Down History Lesson

The serious seekers of wisdom of olden times withdrew from the crowds and sought solitude in the wilderness
In the end, that's where they stayed, for information kept coming and they needed to know more
Small time seekers made intrepid treks to these hideouts and were at first welcomed
Deciphering a wise mans words became a reputable source of income
As time went on the interpretations increased in complexity
Sprouting different sects and martial arts schools
This was becoming one huge enterprise
One day it all came crashing down
The wise man sent them away
They heard gibberish
After they left
Nothing
