Thoughts on Knowledge a poem by Marian M. Fay

Jealous guardians of knowledge quake in fear
Of the generous teachers of all wisdom held dear
Sometimes cowardly arrogance is mistaken for strength and knowledge
True enlightenment comes from life's lessons shared
Not just from a university or college!
Knowledge should flow freely from each one of us
As a river flowing coolly quenching dry parched dust
All of us are welcome drops of water, come and drink.
Of life's river ebbing and flowing to the Creator's heavenly brink!
Knowledge is not meant to be dammed up or horded
It should flow freely for all and never be thwarted!
