Know What?

Knowledge is amazing,
It takes us far and wide.
Some think it's a burden,
I often wonder why.

Knowledge travels through time,
Shakespeare's still a best-seller.
Even his name tells many truths,
I am a weakish speller.

Knowledge allows us choices,
Many we may dread.
But if we were all Clouseau,
We'd wish ourselves all dead.

Oh please just open a book,
Stop using social media.
Knowledge is at your fingertips,
Open an encyclopaedia.
