Famine of Knowlege
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’ll discover before it’s too late
That our choice was not the best.
Our path will be changed, thus changing our fate
There’s 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
Don’t abide in the knowledge famine.
