The Limitations Of Classroom Knowledge Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The universe is a vast and sophisticated place
We cannot squeeze all of its knowledge into the classroom
We can only select a few drops of knowledge to study
And hope it will give us a better perspective into the mystery of the unknown
The classroom is a beautiful place with its gigantic billboards of knowledge
But the key to true knowledge is found within our hearts
True knowledge is the light that opens the door to awareness
Awareness is the fundamental substance of our being
We cannot limit ourselves to the five senses
And hope we can truly understand our own composition
We need to drink from the river of living water
And allow our spirit to illuminate the bed of existence
It is only inside the emptiness of our being
That we can rise up with the fullness of clarity
And see the light of our creation
We can be the substrate of nothingness
And be the empty cup that is never full of knowledge
It is true, the current objective for humanity's existence has been distorted
But the fundamental reason for our existence
Lies deep in our conscious
Until we submerge ourselves in the waters of consciousness (Silence)
We will never understand the meaning of peace, hope, happiness and Love
Only the truth can set us free
To roam the vastness of the everlasting life
