  • Unique Knowledge

    If I did not know the sum of two and two,
    I could calculate it
    But if I forgot the name of one like you,
    I could not derive it.
    Looking for invisible hay
    is not like picking a seen bone.
    Analysis goes a long way,
    but knowledge is a stepping stone.
    Understand this too
    I want to make sense of everything I do
    but while I wait, I must do things that make sense.
    Are you confused? Hence
    just step on stones you are seeing
    rather than those you cannot feel
    Compare holding on to something
    to holding on to nothing real.
    You need to make a pledge
    for you cannot live in free space as a whole,
    but on unique knowledge
    good for the spirit the body and the soul.
