“Knowledge Is Power” By Francis Bacon


Ignorance, stupidity, foolishness

Who would ever wish for such things? The weak?

Not I, For I wish to learn in quickness

The lazy does not wish to reach their peak

 

I ask you what is knowledge? Do you know?

For me, my inspiration, it’s wisdom

Experience, books, studies, to grow

With more time comes more knowledge and freedom

 

Enemy of knowledge and me is time

For I am human and wish to know all

Curiosity killed the cat, but it dined

If had more knowledge, it wouldn’t had fell

 

Imagine a human who knows all, lad?

A dream, for no human, can live that long 

Don’t you think being ignorant is sad?

Never know and be able to, be strong

 

Option 2, live life out without regrets

Time surprises, reapers collect their debts
