Knowledge Is Power
In shadows deep where silence reigns,
Where ignorance binds like heavy chains,
There lies a spark, unseen, unheard—
The mighty force within a word.
A world awaits in quiet sleep,
Where secrets ancient, hidden deep,
Rest patient in the tomes of time,
Enshrined in verse, preserved in rhyme.
To seek, to know, to understand,
Is to hold creation in one’s hand;
The power dormant in a page
Awakens thought, dissolves the cage.
The written word, the spoken tale,
Through ages vast, across the veil,
Transcends all fear, all doubt, all loss,
Its wisdom raw, a hidden gloss.
For knowledge cuts, a double blade,
It builds, it breaks, it heals, it fades;
It stirs the mind to question why,
To lift the low, to reach the sky.
Empires born, and empires fall,
By minds that dared to know it all;
By vision fierce, or vision flawed,
A single thought, by wisdom awed.
