Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge,
Everybody has it,
Somepeople just don't know how,
To make sense of it.
They abuse it.
They don't know what they're capable of,
Just try it.
Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge,
It's a gift to us,
To be able to think and feel,
It's extravagant, it's overwhelming.
How on Earth,
Could you pin-down,
Just one thought process?
We are all so different,
So beautiful.
And that's why I love it,
Knowledge...

I love to see people thinking for themselves and not just "going along with the group." We should use our knowledge. If someone has thought of something that you like, adapt your own opinion from it. Make it unique. Make it fit Y-O-U!

I have not shared it with her, I don't really want to... I don't think she'd like it.

Thanks though. Yes I agree. A lot went into this as I was writing. There's a lot more behind the words I say.

Nicely done!  I think there's a lot to be taken from this poem.  From cherishing the capacity that we have to understand our world, to taking risks and forming one's own opinion/perspective, this poem says a lot in few words.  Way to go! Have you shared this with "GDawg?"
