If Knowledge Speaks

I gave you the knowledge...
To understand the world to navigate;
To build tools to survive - And
To forecast weather to cultivate.
I gave you the knowledge...
To eradicate pandemic diseases;
To find cure for dreadful illnesses;
To overcome the oceans and sky;
To conquer the space – And
To touch your feet on the moon!

I know, I know...
I also gave you the knowledge...
To build weapons to kill;
And atomic bombs to destroy - But
It is your animal instinct;
It is your utter stupidity,
To fight and have war - But
Open your eyes – And
Climb with me to the mountaintop;
I'll show a peaceful land! – As
True intelligence is peace,
A real enlightenment!

You can find me...
In your everlasting curiosity;
In your questions and doubts - And
In your wide open mind!
Knowledge is power – But
I'm not arrogant – And
I'm not judgmental – As
Open mind is my prerequisite!

Often you close your mind - And
Succumb to blind faiths;
Its arrogant claims - And
Its judgmental views!
You talk about sins - And
Dreadful fire in hell – But
You burn people alive - And
You curse their souls;
All here on earth!

Open your mind – And
I'll show you the universe,
Far richer and grandeur – Than
The blind arrogant claims!
Open your mind – And
I'll show you the reality,
Far complex and amazing – That
You can't fathom in dreams!

Think about it....
Just because, you can think,
Don't think, you know...
What it means to think!
You just drive a car,
Not knowing how engine works!
Just because, you can rise questions,
Don't expect, you can answer them all!
It may just take time – Or
Forever beyond your reach! - But
It is absolutely okey;
When you don't know,
Just say, I don't know!

Yes, you can find me…
In your everlasting curiosity;
In your questions and doubts;
I'm not arrogant – And
I'm not judgmental – As
Open mind is my prerequisite!
My humble beginning starts,
In your courage to say,
I don't know!
