Core Knowledge


You can tell me this you can tell me that You can take me there and you can take me back No matter how much I see, or how far I go There will always be more knowledge to know If one knows it all he can learn no more I guess the absence of knowing is knowledge at its core We learn to know and know to learn But be weary, the fire of wisdom can still burn Do not want, do not seek, do not yearn Even the forbidden fruit was too ripe Even the enlightening light can be too bright Adam knew knowing of knowledge would create his demise Therefore the all knowing man is a man not so wise Now open your mind and think about this. If you knew everything that exists You would find that ignorance is actually bliss
