Bitter Sweet Taste Of Knowledge Poem by Eunice Ingonabo

In the realm of wisdom's sweet embrace,
Where knowledge blooms with vibrant grace,
There lies a taste, both bitter and sweet,
A paradoxical blend, a truth to meet.

Like honeyed nectar upon the tongue,
Knowledge's sweetness, forever young,
It dances on the taste buds, a delight,
Filling the mind with a radiant light.

But as the sweetness lingers on,
A bitter undertone begins to dawn,
For knowledge, with its vast expanse,
Unveils the truths that make us dance.

The bitter taste of knowing too much,
Of seeing the world with a discerning touch,
It opens our eyes to life's complexities,
Revealing the depths of our own fallacies.

The pen is mightier than sword,
Knowledge itself is powerful,
It builds and destroys,
Reveals the hidden truths that'll either make us smile or cry
