What is knowledge?
Knowledge is a bridge,
So, if you have it,
You will get to the other side,
Because knowledge is a bridge.
What can knowledge do?
Knowledge can lift you to the top,
For knowledge gives you power and hope.
Knowledge can change,
Your today's sorrow,
Into a brighter tomorrow.
For knowledge is a virtue,
It instills in you self-value.
If you want to create a wise nation,
You have to care for knowledge and education.

"Knowledge is a bridge,
So, if you have it,
You will get to the other side,
Because knowledge is a bridge."
I find this verse humorous and charming,
a great way to start off this poem. ♥
