Knowledge is Power



What is knowledge, I say it’s like possessing uncontrollable power
If you are curious, ambitious, hungry and determined
You would want to be the person that stands on top of every tower
A wise man does not wait to be devoured
He works hard every minute and on every hour
His biggest fear is to be controlled and empowered
Like the flowers that draws energy from the sun
In order to blossom, flourished and grow
So does the individual who seeks after knowledge
As I have said, knowledge gives you access to wealth and power
It makes you confident and bold
Ambitious and wise
Discipline and patient
Eager to explore and the desire to want too  discover even more
Knowledge gives you access to power
So be wise and contribute
Knowledge should be shared and distributed  
Not abused and misused
Knowledge should never be refused.
