I Know That I Know Nothing

3 May 2019  10:27 Am

I Know that I know nothing and nothing surely knows me
There for I and nothing are a commonality

I know that I'm a dreamer of life and what I see
So is life the dream or the dream the life I see

Questions oft bring answers and answers questions breed
So are answers what I'm seeking or is it questions that I need

Life is full of philosophy of every trade and creed
So do I philosophize in trade or trade my philosophy

There are many things that one wants and many things that need one
So does one need the things or do the things want one

I know that I know nothing and nothing surely knows me
There for I and nothing are a commonality

This is wisdom at its finest, Bobb. The ultimate in knowledge is the realization that one knows nothing! For that is the subjugation of the ego before Almighty God. This is a beautiful poem, and it is a FAVE for me. Thank you for posting it. Best wishes, Gershon

Thank you. I post here as a legacy of my life. I write about personal experiences and I do not always correct spelling and grammer. I think that it adds to the realism of what I was feeling and thinking about at the time. And I am very happy that you have found enjoyment in reading my life.
