Famine of Knowledge

Famine of Knowledge Dr. Jim Martin We often travel roads that are unknown In pursuit of a better way. Though the pitfalls are never shown We pass on anyway. Shortly after this journey is begun We find with great surprise The trap into which we’ve unknowingly run Will result in our demise. Often we will discover before it’s too late That our choice was not the best. Our path will be changed, thus changing our fate There is rejoicing in the passing of the test. To early in life this lesson not learn Will result in much regret. So do not this message hastily spurn Nor about it hastily forget. “What is this message?” you may ask, “What should I carefully examine?” It really is a simple task Do not abide in the knowledge famine.
