It's What We Know

Eric Hoffer..."In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists."

IT'S  WHAT WE KNOW

They say the strong will inherit the earth

I think it partly wrong, for all it is worth

It will be those who have learned from mistakes of the past

Who teach their children about making life last

Brawn with mere ignorance can't make mankind prevail

It is like a great ship with no wind for her sails

Common sense and integrity are the wind that will blow

Moving the mighty ship with a wake destined to grow

Sitting in darkness are those void of knowledge

With common sense and awareness  you won't need time in college

Reaching for stars with a well rounded mind

Is the prescription for the healing of our failing mankind
