Look, what do you see?
Read, what does it mean?
Understand, you learn gradually
Open up; don’t judge a book by its cover
I wanna flood my mind with knowledge
So I can learn to know myself
It’s flowing with understanding
It’s like I’m opening all the books on the shelf
I’m doing more than learning, I’m mastering myself
But is the drowning feeling knowledge
Or have the rivers burst their banks?
Am I simply an island?
Surrounded with ocean & killer sharks (man eating sharks)?
I see myself at the top of the land
On the mountain peak
Surrounded with ocean
Clinging on to a flag
I wonder what will be the solution
I cling with fear, I cling with despair
When will the flooding cease?
Where I can walk freely, breath nice & slow
Just feel at ease
I can’t swim so I wouldn’t get far
I need assistance from a machine
I lost the key to my car
Why can’t my life roll smoothly?
Tired of the speed bumps round every corner
Hit a ditch, or fix the damn machine
It’s costing me like every hour
Learnt that achieving brings forth a great feeling
Feel great, high with no bud, I wanna get higher
Love it when I learn, I achieve
Getting closer to my desire
I wanna learn, I wanna achieve
My dream is getting clearer
No more procrastinating
Time to make shit happen
Devise a plan, no more deviating
Achieve that plan
Make millions of fans

- Comment from author about the poem: This was written at a stage of my life when I wanted to know myself& others better; master myself & others. So I learnt a lot of information & facts, read a lot of books, wikipedia etc. The more I found out about the kind of world we live in, the more it felt like I was drowning in knowledge.
