LIVE AND LEARN
Knowledge is power, they say...
Some of which I seek each day.
Whenever I have the chance...
With more than a simple glance,
I make a temporary stay.
Internet is the main source...
Seeming of endless enforce.
Merely just a simple word
Makes the unknown less absurd...
Search engine which runs its course.
Another is within a book...
Read into with in-depth look.
Facts abundant with their theories,
Answers to questions and queries...
Recipes of mental cook.
Opinions, input of a peer...
There to discard or hold dear.
I open to conversation...
Possibly, its information
Could make the uncertain clear.
In a school or on the street...
Driving vehicles, on my feet.
Lecture given in a lesson,
Sessions ripe with said confession...
Knowledge given in its feat.
Experience from parts of life
Both placid and full of strife.
What can be helped or cannot...
Retained or simply forgot.
Sometimes, it cuts like a knife.
Gained in trying something new...
Taking risks and pushing through.
In the instance of a fear,
Faced could see it disappear...
Epiphany possible too.
Knowledge there for me to earn...
Dependent on my concern.
As I make my way throughout
What remains of life, no doubt
I will aspire to live and learn.
