Knowledge Is Power

One has been quoted: ‘Knowledge is Power’,
as knowing is able to empower
a person with qualities surreal,
justifying, and for a world ideal.

With the truth needs to come comprehension:
for one must allow appreciation
for the central responsibility
for the reasoning of reality.

The downfall of Eden exemplifies
the truth that with one should identify-
The apocalypse resides in reason,
a Trojan horse amid trust and treason.

And so, granted with this revelation,
Man understands the key expectations
needed to conscientiously acknowledge
the value of the power of knowledge.
