Knowledge In Action Poem by David Taylor

Do you think I don’t know?
I can feel the footsteps of
An ant in my heart
I hear your thoughts
Pass through my mind
I hear the stars sing as they shine.
Do you think I don’t know?

You say I learn nothing
I say if I learn
where will I have a space to know?
So don’t think I don’t know
You can have many doubts
But one thing you must know
You cannot doubt the sincerity
Of what my actions show
I have not learnt
Therefore I do not know
So do not think
That I do or do not know

The secret is not to think you know
Then there is a space to know
And in the knowing know
That knowledge is not yours to keep
And that is what our actions show.
