Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Deep Knowledge

Wells, deep 
wells 
      of sorrow
      surround your 
mortal frame
          the rain has left
its mark on you 
     the years have
not been kind
      Yet there is 
a spark remaining
       Which you 
can fan into a 
flame
       reach into 
the source of 
    knowledge
   let your mind 
expand and grow
       In spite of 
everything 
          you're still
here 
     let them know!
