Knowledge

When man wants more And gets it, Does he stop wanting? When man pushes further And gets there, Does he stop going? Questions one must ask of themselves. We can all be blinded by the brass ring. When reaching further and further, We deny values and forget everything. Lest not forget our forefathers teachings; Pray, toil, love and reap rewards. For it is better to live with a knowledge Than to attain gold and die by the sword. So ask yourself a question each day. One, that will make you stop and think. Treat the answers like a glass full of water; Consume it and taste of the drink. Knowledge is a powerful tool, not weapon. Use it to better yourself and others, as well. Let it flourish like your flowers in a garden. Share it, let silence not quell.
