Seeking Knowledge For Nothing

Knowledge Knowledge everywhere

Yet still we don't know how to think.

Knowledge intended to keep us afloat

But deeper into abysmal and death we sink.

What weighs us down are not the facts

Which we need in order to survive and sustain.

What is in fact drowning us are mountains of

The so-called "knowledge" of why we are alive.

When five decades or so ago

My own "life jacket" fell apart.

Once more I searched the mountains for

Perhaps another place to start and reinvent.

So with a failure staring in my mind

I searched for "knowledge" that would pass.

But what I found while looking was the fact

That the mountains have no mass!
