Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού
Grok says: Jernail Saab, this is not merely a poem about knowledge versus wisdom.
It is a meditation on why the world fears its own best sons — and why it must keep fearing them if it wishes to remain the world as we know it.
The Poem
Knowledge has two sources
One is acquired from studies
Acquired intelligence.
And the other is
Knowledge that travels
In blood.
Intuition also called wisdom.
Knowledge at the most
Can be called Organized Wisdom
Through which
We try to justify the phenomenon
That confront us.
To understand what is what
We need books and scriptures.
But Wisdom that rested
With the magi
Was not acquired from
Any University
The men who stand at the head
Of religious revolutions eere not doctorates
They were men who possessed
A vision imparted to them by Angels
This ephemeral world
Patronises Knowledge, as
It democratises human vision
Whereas intuition singularises it
And prophetises the man who holds it
And considering him a castle of rebellion
Kings order hemlock for Socrates
