He who is not aware of his ignorance will only be misled by his knowledge.

The Knowledge
Insight to what's going on
Information keeps us strong
What you don't know can hurt you bad
Take it from me you'll be walkin around sad
Cryin for a better day
Until you educate for a better way
So if you wanna be in control
Ya gotta get yourself in the know
Get the knowledge
That you really want
The knowledge
Do you really want
It's the knowledge
What you really want
The knowledge
That you really want
Spreading vise don't believe the hype
You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
Too many lives go up in smoke
It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
To get over get better
Try to be the possessor
Of the one thing we all need in life
To succeed take my advice
Get the knowledge
That you really want
The knowledge
Do you really want
It's the knowledge
What you really want
The knowledge
That you really want
Prejudice No!
Ignorance No!
Bigotry No!
Illiteracy No!
Listen it's up to everyone
If we're gonna change the way the world is run
The way to start is to rid the children of
Prejudice and ignorance
We've gotta teach our kids to read and write
That's the only way to win this fight for life
Education is the goal so
If you wanna be in the know
Get the knowledge
It's the one thing we all need in life

Knowledge Is There to Gain From This
It is difficult to escape the power held,
By those acknowledging a knowledge.
Once it is there and gets one wide awake...
All exits to get away from it,
Seem to be permanently closed.
There are no fences to jump,
Or keys to unlock gates.
Even the faking of not having it,
Is hard to do when ignorance approaches.
There have been cases,
In which attempts have been made...
To masquerade a wisdom,
For the sake of keeping peace.
Since all peace wishes to do is to live in it.
This can not be done.
It seems that ignorance becomes offended.
And conflicts begin!
The forces of ignorance struggle to win.
Leaving consequences for them to suffer!
And knowledge is there to gain from this.
But it is ignorance that is stubborn.
Wanting to prove without knowledge...
Alone it can exist in the spreading of its nonsense.

Ignorance Keeps The Love Flow
She loves him, who is seen with a cap on.
He loves her, who is seen with hair thick black.
She is not aware that he is a bald.
He is not aware that she is dyed.
With that ignorance, the love flourishes.
For love to sustain, ignorance is a tonic.

We meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.

Ignorance Is To Stay
The knowledge dispels ignorance
As the light expels the darkness.
Yet stay ignorance and darkness.
Knowledge and sunlight just chase them.

So Misled
(i, i, i, i... so misled)
In the summer of london life gold, she said,
Was a month before I realized sold, instead
Hey, its such an awful choice, gonna break my back
Take it easy now, youre weepin boy, dont wanna feel the crack
Bust my head to say you lose it, now my bodys gotta use it..
I, i, I should not be.. so misled
I, i, I should not be.. so misled
Saw an advert in a magazine safe, it said
With the satisfaction guaranteed, to cool your head!
I can see the solution to this state of confusion..

So misled...

Ok, take it away..

In the summer of london life...

Was a month before I realized...

I gotta say, I miss you baby...
So misled...

Interests grow old.
Knowledge expels ignorance.
With ignorance goes curiosity.
Where from will come interest
When you advance in your age?

I awake with a not entirely sickened knowledge that I am merely young again and in a funny way at peace, an observer who is aware of time's chariot, aware that some metamorphosis has occurred.

We are dissipating superstition, ignorance and fear. We are forging courage, will and knowledge. Every striving toward enlightenment is welcome. Every prejudice, caused by ignorance, is exposed.

Tarpoulene
Tarpoulene can be
used and misfortune
be invited.
It is not mere
ignorance and
ignorance
no excuse.
Checking of
status does not
mean keeping secure.
No tarpoulene can
save you
unless you aware
with a larger
side order of
mercury.

About ignorance
Ignorance is the limited knowledge,
The rejection of what you do not know
The acceptance of what you half know
And the knowledge that you know that you don't know
Or that you don't know that you know.

Nurture an appetite for being puzzled, for being confused, indeed for being openly stupid, and that - despite what you may think - is very difficult...We all know the cliche' that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. It is also true that a lot of knowledge can be a dangerous thing as well...use your ignorance as well as your knowledge for creative means.

Sonnet: On Knowledge
Knowledge is one thing priceless, people want;
Knowledge is something gained by labor long;
Knowledge is infinite; master, you-can't;
Knowledge is changeable, much like a song.
Knowledge is deeper than the oceans deep;
Knowledge is larger than the Universe;
Knowledge is barely in life, just a peep;
Knowledge if badly used becomes God's curse.
Knowledge remains undiminished, tho' you- share;
Knowledge gives man, a civilised outlook;
Knowledge if improper, you ought to pare;
Knowledge is gained from Nature and by book.
Knowledge can make a man a wiser one;
Knowledge gives Wisdom in the longer run.

The end of the ignorance
Ignorance dissolves
When the knowledge gathers.
The last part of the ignorance
Is that the God saves one.
It dissolves at one's death bed.
