The Chimera Of Knowledge Poem by Sonny Rainshine

The Chimera Of Knowledge



Most people do not like not to know,
and especially despise those who know
they do not not know;
and futhermore loathe those who admit
that they don’t know.
There are even those who claim to know
the Unknowable, unknowing that they
are being contradictory.

Am I right?
Who knows?

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Was it Socrates who said something along the lines of, the more I know, the more I know how little I know? Again who knows. But I know I like this piece.... I enjoy this sort of theme and you have tackled it well. t x

I like this Sonny, something to think about....as I can be contradictory at times...does that mean I am knowing...who knows? :) All the best, Diane
