Knowledge is free and for all

KNOWLEDGE IS FREE AND FOR ALL

 

Around every corner
knowledge is being distributed
some academic
some not very academic
and some that is just plain gossip
 
where at one time
there was only one scientific journal in circulation
today there are hundreds
the journals knowledge being further complemented
by the thousands of research papers
being published every day
 
No longer is a students
scientific temperament
limited to the 15 chapters in his textbook
no longer are they restricted  to the
sacred paper of their textbook
 
Knowledge has long escaped
the limitation of paper
and expanded and conquered
the limitless expanses of the
realm of internet
 
No longer is knowledge
restricted to those few lucky ones
who happened to be born
in the right sex
at the right time
and most importantly
in the right family
 
Knowledge is now universal,
available to all
it releases people from their ignorance
and grants them swaraj in mind and body
 
Never again
shall knowledge
ever be restricted to human discrimination
for knowledge is free and for all

When pen is put to paper

WHEN PEN IS PUT TO PAPER

 
 
When pen is put to paper
the mind meets the heart to
to form a consensus on paper
 
It is time
that thoughts become so powerful
that they must be put
through the purifying test of paper
but also at the same time they become
a prisoner to the four corners
of the page
 
This thought then if great enough
revolutionary enough into
make their writers into legends
and revolutionaries unto themselves
 
This humble paper
is after all
for those
who want to break the barriers
think out of the box
and change the rules of
the game
 
This humble paper
is for all those
who wish to achieve perfection
Through continuous and relentless
hardwork
 
In all its might
this simple piece of paper
Is just sometimes the most powerful speaker
the most powerful communication
in a room full of silence

Discontent and me

DISCONTENT AND ME

 
I am full of discontent
never being content with
what I have
for a long period of time
 
 
My discontent is not present for
the latest phones. gadgets and toys

It forments itself in
my ambitious nature
it is over here where I lust
for more
it is over here
where my heart is just simply
never satisfied

My ambition
knowns no bounds
if I have got 80
I want 90
if I have got 90
I lust for 100

I don't know why
why?
That I lust so much for near perfection

Though I know one thing
I never aim for perfection
for I fear the definition
of that word is changing
all the time for me
Each new success
gives a new meaning
to this word

If achieving x was okay yesterday
It is no longer permissible
for me to achieve that today

But I fear this greed
is pushing me over the edge
in uncharted boundaries
and areas that I have not known existed
until now

weather this is good or bad
well
only time will tell
