Smoke & Mirrors

Kurt Philip Behm

The more we think we know,

the more deceived we truly become

 

Accumulating knowledge

—the deception of time

The Final Match

 

If doing what’s right and winning,

could only be the same

 

Our world would strike the final match

—all politics in flames

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)

    Well stated, Kurt. 'Knowledge' ain't where it's at. 'Wisdom' is the goal, is it not?

    First Poem: Aristotle said it, Einstein said it, and now you.... Well written, you are in good company!
    Second Poem: So true! And I think both Aristotle and Einstein would agree.

      I knew that graduate degree in Philosophy/ Theology would
      someday prove worthwhile.

      🙂

      Thanks, Fred!
