Smoke & Mirrors

Kurt Philip Behm

The more we think we know,

the more deceived we truly become

 

Accumulating knowledge

—the deception of time

 

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)

 

 

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!
