Analysis of Knowledge!
Knowledge is also what the eyes perceive,
You gots to read a book for the brain to receive,
Without the eyes you can not see,
There's where you lack the knowing to obtain a degree,
You'll still here but you'll only understand,
Without sight your understanding will keep you wonderin,
My spellings not ill if you could see,
My vocab has swag truthfully,
Knowledge and understanding means you're not death or blind,
And there you'll gain wisdom when the two are combined,
Many remain ignorant cause they don't want to find,
Fear that knowledge brings truth and they lack the spine,
They remain in darkness lost in time,
May even lost their minds,
The hurt from truth is temporary but knowing helps me shine,
I can't teach or guide you if you want understand,
Into unknown territories you will wonder again,
I was taught through failures amongst the man,
But now I make better decisions and fool proof plans,
I possess the knowledge and I'll lend you a hand,
But betray me and I'll leave you in the frying pan!
Just because I know don't make me better than,
But the more I seek knowledge makes me a clever man!
