What’s the answer?
Does knowledge have a definition?
What’s the answer?
This sheet is doubting my intellectual grandeur
Nothing but a paper, but it became truly a creature
That devours my mind
My sanity
And my temper
Flipping through the pages of false knowledge.
Will passing this get me acknowledged? By my peers. My parents. My colleagues?
Such folly
True… Knowledge is preserved in the annals of humanity. Contributing to the building of society
False… Knowledge is only gained from bending that book spine. In that dark, lonely library
True knowledge has no definition. It can only be gained by having conviction
To hustle, scrape, and gain that wisdom.
If the paper is victorious over you, don’t fret. Focus on the overview
You’ve expanded your mind with wisdom, and pushed through
The door of true knowledge, and the colourful hue
Of the enlightened mind. You can now construe
The difference between wisdom and knowledge… and those who confuse the two
