Knowledge

Knowledge, 
Embarking wisdom on minds.
Wise thoughts spark brain 
For infinite time.

Thoughts of money power respect,
life in the present used for
Fret of what the future holds.
Prophecies that a psychic never told

When is life going to end you?
Never know.
I am living or
Meerly exsisting?
You have to know.

Keep your heart on beat. 
Vital metronome.

Society judging by what the eyes see,
Blind to the truth, 
Peering through, 
Blood stained glasses as
Reality passes.
Oblivious to the need of
Enlightening masses.

Indolent asses.

Ignorant to opportunity.
Tries to ruin us 
As we excel in classes.

Just want to make a difference.

Excite brains like a
Designer stimulant.
Teach eyes to see, 
Souls to dance and the
Sub-conscious to realize 
Secrets buried alive
 
Do the world a favor, 
Express individuality, and
I’ll try to let 
the world see 
the knowledge 
I hold inside of me
