Knowledge Is Power

Knowledge is power 
Unless that knowledge is unfounded 
Keep your theories grounded 
Listen, open your eyes 
Don’t be disguised 
By tabloids and social media 
They always have a hidden criteria 
Don’t be a pawn in the government’s game 
Brainwashing you with propaganda that’s lame 
Warping your mind 
And rearing you away from the facts 
They are dirty rats 
Riddled with non-intellectual waffle 
Watch a documentary 
Read a book or journal
For these are part of the kernel 
Of knowledge you require
