Let Knowledge Energize You
I would always move at a constant rate
Propelled by the same winds of delusion
In the riptide current of grandeur.
Because, as they say, ignorance is bliss
And what is more blissful than to float on and on
At the same, constant rate?
But then I looked down at the waves and saw them
Tossing -in all directions- and knew the truth.
The waves below me want to swallow my ship
And it is in despair that you yearn for freedom.
I found my freedom in the wind.
I opened my sails and changed course
My knowledge of the waves led to my freedom of choice
Because, as they say, knowledge is power.
And so I now accelerate
Until there is land in sight
And the energy of my knowledge
Captured from the sky,
Circulating in my sails,
Opened by my own mind,
In defiance of the viscious waves,
Will strike and shake the island and its people
Into seeing the truth.
Therefore, knowledge of the truth leads to
Freedom
The knowledge of freedom leads to the choice of
Truth.
Let knowledge energize you.
