Empty Knowledge

Oh, we think we’re so wise, so tall, so high

Climbing up with our heads held to the sky

But when the night falls and shadows creep near

All our knowledge fades, disappears, unclear

Built towers of thought, wired in our minds

Claiming control, leaving no one behind

Yet in the silence when breath starts to fade

All our striving shows it’s just a charade

Knowledge is power, that’s what they say

But what’s the use when we’re slipping away?

When the final breath calls us to the unknown

Where’s all that wisdom when we’re alone?

They think they’re stronger than divine grace

But can’t escape the face of eternal embrace

Knowledge can’t save, it’s just a flicker in time

When we’re face to face with what’s truly divine

Arrogant hearts, blind to the truth

Thinking science can uncage our youth

But death’s the equalizer, the great reset

Reveals our limits, our secrets unmet

Knowledge is power, they shout and pretend

But in the end, it’s just a means to an end

When we’re silent in death’s cold embrace

All our knowledge leaves no trace

They think they’re stronger than divine grace

But can’t escape the face of eternal embrace

Knowledge can’t save, it’s just a flicker in time

When we’re face to face with what’s truly divine

Oh, where is that knowing when it counts the most?

In the quiet, lost in the ghost

Of what we called our mighty might

It’s faith that shines in the darkest night

So humble ourselves, and seek what’s true

Beyond what the mind can rush into

For when we’re dying, that’s the only proof

That knowledge isn’t the ultimate truth

Whispers of tomorrow, echoes in the hall

Lessons in the shadows, waiting for the fall

Sent them out with dreams, pockets filled with hope

Paid a heavy price, with a borrowing rope

What are they really learning, behind those classroom doors?

Is it strength or just the weight of unopened sores?

Deny the truth, turn away or open up your eyes

In a world that’s borrowed time, where the true cost lies?

Will you listen to the whispers, or dismiss the silent call?

The future waiting patient, will it be your all?

Let’s ask what they’re gaining, beyond the debt’s embrace

Are they growing stronger, or just losing face?

Can the lessons truly teach them, how to stand and fight?

Or are they just shadows fading into the night?

In the silence of the lecture, lies the unspoken fear

Knowledge bought with caution, but is it ever clear?

What are they learning from the price that they pay?

Is wisdom really worth the debts they weigh?

Can we see beyond the figures, past the monetary stone?

Help them find their way, build a foundation their own

Will you face the truth now, or wait till it’s too late?

The lessons we ignore could seal their final fate.

Let’s ask what they’re gaining, beyond the debt’s embrace

Are they growing stronger, or just losing face?

Can the lessons truly teach them, how to stand and fight?

Or are they just shadows fading into the night?

Hear the silent cry, beneath the scholar’s mask

Are we shaping minds, or just completing the task?

It’s more than figures, more than numbers to their name

It’s about the lessons that will light their way through flame

So next time you send them far, with dreams and debts in hand

Remember what they’re learning, and help them understand

Help them learn to fly, with wings that are their own

In a world where true knowledge, is the greatest throne.
