Knowledge is a time machine.
If you are touched by its blessed light,
Then you can skip the centuries ahead
By riding on its timeless carriage,
And it will extend your mind infront of future’s door
Where no one of this present era
Has ever imagined of stepping before.
But if you are not fortunate
To obtain the company of knowledge,
Then inspite of residing in the twenty first century,
You will be stuck on the superstitions of medievalism
Or will feel the agony of a primitive man,
Living in the ignorance’s deep chasm.
Sure knowledge is the Time machine that takes one to the past or future and also present if only one is interested in knowledge!
A very true thought indeed Sanjukta.. We are all free to explore knowledge as we please, but seldom do we do so... Thank you for penning such a poem...
A perfect metaphor....knowledge can truly help individuals or groups cross the bounds and constraints imposed by the centuries. This is an amazing poem.
So true Sanjukta! Knowledge is power..... also a treasure which can never be stolen or get rusted by time! More than us, this knowledge that knowledge is power will benefit you... youngsters! Great write!
