To know

2781

To know the word is a marvellous thing 

 

Brings laughter,  makes you sing

 

Corrects you when your feeling cold 

 

Keeps you youthful,  when getting old 

 

Fights your battles, defends your friends 

 

Yes, its virtual has no end.

 

 

When become the best of friends 

 

From the beginning,  tells the end. 

 

 

In all the noise tells the truth 

 

Still hard to find,  we all want proof 

 

A wicked generation seeks a sign 

 

When all around us is the glory 

 

Only one can tell the story.

 

 

Some try, others lie 

 

Isn't it the way?

 

With bells and lights, and all delights 

 

We totter and we sway..

 

The world doesn't love us

 

It caught us in a trap..

 

Used, chewed,  and spat. 

 

 

The earth is in dismay, groaning for a rest

 

(There's that word dominion)

 

We became the pest..

 

 

In the grip of covetous, we take, we claim 

 

Who bears the guilt? Who wears the shame?

 

For answers to these questions, you may only ask but one...

 

Calling to his children: learn from me, my son.
