To Know Poem by Naveed Akram

To know is like giving birth to knowledge
Of the wise sort, and the learning will take time.
But time has riddles, and these are solvable when a horror
Commands the soul and body to act in unison.
Pain and painful memories must be memorised
To keep one’s agony at bay, to keep leaders in high spirits.

Knowledge shall reign in the life to come,
Lives matter to those who wait, and they come
For their survival.
The colleges are schools to be the Fate,
Supreme joy enters the young-at heart,
They learn fast due to milk and protein.
