When You Know Nothing…

poem

When you know nothing,
you are free —
to stay stay ignorant,
to be devoid of knowledge,
to close off your mind,
to loiter in the hallways without gaining cognizance,
to be truly free,

or

to keep an open mind,
to learn,
to understand,
to experiment,
to experience,
to improve,
to remain humble,
to illuminate the path ahead,
to indulge in the deep end of perception and not be corrupted by the devilish world,
to realize that the world is full of knowledge and wisdom,
and to discover that every day you learn more,
yet reach nowhere close to knowing everything.
