Those who strive to know answers
Will go so far in life
Those who seek intelligence
Will also fall under the knife

Knowledge is like a sharpened blade
Ready to end the fight
But this blade is sharpened on both sides
Your body will soon feel its might

Now with knowledge also comes power
The ability to do as you see fit
But power soon leads to corruption
And is taken away as fast as you gained it.

So don't think you are lucky
For having the mind that wants to learn
This is not just a gift but also a curse
And soon your ambitions will cripple and burn

Wow! I can see how knowledge can be deadly now. You go through life with people telling you to make good grades, get a good education, and get in a good college. That drives a kid to work hard to make his/her parents pride. But you only have one life and one childhood. If you don't get your experience now then in the future, you might lose it and go crazy. Also, what go is an education if you can't get the job you want. I don't know where I'm going with this. Sorry.
