YOU NOT KNOWING

Don’t be a fool or a pasty for the colonies
Anatomy of a set up has many skeletons
We can’t help you if you don’t read
Knowledge is power it keeps flesh on bones

Powers not by Magic
A prevailer by hard work and study
It enhances the mind evermore
Knowledge of faith is a platinum key

The libraries are open now?
But the books have burnt in our minds
We seeking plants of drugs for cures
Instead of leaves of paper sheets of words

We know nothing of Fig-Newton’s,
Gravitational pull, the birth of Stars,
Or engineering devises of a Pyramid
The science of medicine born in Egypt,
But became extinct from our memories

You not knowing
Then you not glowing
And not growing
What you gonna do,
When the trumpets start blowing
