what we know

when you were born
you were a clean slate
you knew nothing at all
blissful in your ignorant state

as you aged
as you grew tall
you became a teenager
and thought you knew it all

as you rushed and as you ran
out into the world you were head
it was there that you learned
you knew nothing instead

so you lived life and experienced it all
you said goodbye and closed your eyes
it was at the end you knew so much
yet no one knew you were so wise
