It's yours to use

A Poem by Mattox

Knowing is better than guessing

Enlightenment of the unknown is grand,
passion taken from self accomplishment.

Juicy and bright like a french press of fresh grounds,
taste of satisfaction with a slice of joy.

Creating is far from finding whats already there,
one chooses from a choice that already exist,
using skills attained from life is a gift, a gift to know.

Ignorance is bliss, this is really dumb,
hard facts are better to know it's like music,
it hits hard like the beat of a drum, or an acoustics strum.
Why? Would one choose to live in stupidity, escape.
Escape from ignorance is impossible.

Know thy self, take ownership it whats yours for it cannot be taken,
like freedom, unfortunately being ignorant is a choice,
like bigotry, fascism, racism, or hate.
Those who choose to grasp intelligence are better known,
The more you attain stays within the brain.
Expansive knowledge is vast subjects are credible credentials.

Do not astray from education, its only there to help, everyone willing,
Life is a choice, and choosing to take it from others or ones self is,
ignorant. Knowledge is power, use it, don't abuse it. Karma may not be real,
but gravity is, what comes up must come down,

A message for those who live in the dark... it will soon be light out.
