Knowledge - 3 Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Knowledge - 3

Rating: 4.6


He who uses his knowledge
To sow seeds of terror
Division and hate
Is likened to a well dressed beast.

One who unites and fosters brotherhood
Through his knowledge
Is like a burst of light
In a moonless and starless night.

Beautiful poem on knowledge, which can be a guiding light as well as the way to terror. It depends on how one uses it. Well presented. Loved reading it.
