Cold words are not learning

Memorising charts and maps
Do not indicate knowledge
 
My mind holds things
You could never possibly understand
 
Your brain is angular
And gray
 
Knowledge cannot be measured 
In numbers
Charts
Lengths
Tests
 
Because they cannot gauge
The tears you've shed
The blood you've poured
The sweat you've given
 
Knowledge is the sum of us
The entirety of our brain
Our whole being
 
And who can measure that?
