Moth'R Of The Learn'D Poem by Eche Ononukwe

O, Knowledge,
you are so much pow’rful to make us curious!
You allow us to search the unsearchable,
and make us wise and learn’d.

O, knowledge,
you are expensive for men and women, young and old
to have you possess’d!

O, Great Moth’r of the learn’d,
come forth that I may possess you more and more
that you may make me great and great.
Make me live a virtuous life
when you shall fill me with your gifts!
