Knowledge Poem by Habeeb Kayode Yahaya

Here comes the great will
The instrument that comes with zeal
It brings power and fear is cleared
The sages with courage they are declared

Acquire it and you'll have many skills
To overcome it, you'll need some pills
That will make you always steady
To face the crowd'it makes you ready

Struggle and strive to acquire knowledge
So that in front of you, people could pledge
To chose you as their role model in their lifetime
To bring you a luxury with which you'll wine and dine

The oldest tales heard from the saga
Of an ignorant who tried to slaughter
But knowledge stopped him with just a question
He couldn't answer, but filled with depression

The absolutism of power lies in her stream
With millions and billions of hope and fufilled dreams
Acquire it, and you shall be admired
And all that you want, you shall acquire.

It is an Odyssey travelled by warlords
And succesfully came back with beautiful swords
It is a tree planted with bronze
Harvested from it, diamond that glows

Before i bow to all corruption
With knowledge i rose up with total progression
Knowledge make me different from others
Am above ignorance and it's borders

Just because of knowledge i had
Corruption, nepotism was just so hard
For me to allow in my crib
We rejected them, me and my crew

Knowledge, knowledge, fight for it
Acquire it with indefatigable zeal
So that you'll posess enough power
And make ignorance go assunder
