You say you know
how do you know you know?
who are the people who say so?

but others know
you don't know
but don't want to let you know
that they know

while you don't know
others do know
that you don't know

thus, not knowing
you don't know
does (in the eyes of others) show
you are foolish and shallow

while they who know
that you don't know
will use what they know
to exploit your weakness
wherever you are or wherever you go

your life's battle is lost because
you don't know
that you don't know

and by the time you wake up
from your not-knowing
to knowing
the show is over
and you are left with
NOTHING!
nil
