Darker than six combined winter mid nights The uneducated minds For they know not when and how to use their knowledge Knowledge without character Is tea without sugar The superior complex do As the inferior complex do other wise Life has the wise and the other wise Those that stand things before understanding Undemocratic knowledge Retaliate democratic knowledge Global democrats Are likened to a boxing ring ‘Jab, hook and uppercut!’ Opponents hit each other hard And destroy not each other. Gracious, after a tough contestant Embrace each other with unity of purpose It’s indeed a game and gambling of knowledge Confidence building knowledge Vision-less vision knowledge Knowledge engulfed by the hocus-pocus Vampire of' ‘Anointed' knowledge Illogical malicious transmitters of words Utter knowledge with utter amazement Indeed, Knowledge is power Power to do evil...or power to do good. No thief, however skilful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire L. Frank Baum accurately observed “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not illiteracy , It's how we illusion knowledge

the ancient greeks would call asia's mysticism nothing more than a tautology... tao: the tao that can be named, is not the eternal tao... i see one tao: the best way you can help the world, is to forget the world, and let the world to forget you... like some Irish poet once wrote; who was it? ah! louis macneice in ehyeh asher ehyeh... *in der beginn und der ende der nur dezent definition ist tautologie: mann ist mann, frau frau, und baum baum, und welt... welt...* which is the basic principle of asiatic "mysticism"... der ding dass ist, ist... und der ding dass nicht ist: ist nein-ist, aber nicht: nein! watching Swedish drama i took to understand the difference between nein and nicht: and nichts... circus of nouns... Asiatic mysticism - tautology... nein ist nicht ein absolut nein: the Asiatic folk spiced it all up with an addition of adjectives... nichts mehr... how can i have an opinion about England, not being an Englishman? sidenote... i'm no migrant exotica, i am not luxury: given that i am economic... hence my desire to hide in German, whenever i can, while entertaining the use of English... i can't have an opinion about England, because i am not an Englishman and the Englishman's opinion is worth: jack-shit... out of curiosity, i watch, and... too apprehensive about waiting i forget to wait... wenn da eine nachleben: ich hoffen zu spreschen deutsche... i was born in Poland... so... what do sie denken my meinung of England är, given that i'm not an Englishman and i'd föredra to speak Deutsche after death, than be plagued by this acquired tongue? i don't have an opinion worthy of it being designated as having accommodation to encompass said land, i'm only here in passing: i wish! but for not being a pompous brat, my servitude is that of the natives... of which i am not... hence my minor ploys of escapism in german... somehow... a few words in German alleviates the burden of seeing the natives buckle before whoever reigns... but being white, i could almost pass off as a Brit... i can, and do... and then on occassion: i don't.
