Acknowledged Knowledge on the Ledge Knowing.

a lack of understanding remains; "who makes the tests?"
is exceptionally blatent,with its effects on the rest.
residing in upright houses, flat-topped desks
for writing and judgements, words like waves, as the crest.
judgements of intelligence
a bias remains
calculate relevance
by burning the page
with red ink.
inform through research,
conform through ignorance.
elusive,maintain the search:
fire- full steam ahead!

shortcomings ensued, divulged prophecy;
push comes to shove: a stone cast, miserably
into th water, a destroyer of peace-
image of reflection immediately recedes.

we are depleted, but not defeated.
we are cast down, but not cast out.
opening our books once more,
finding our places
to succeed without failure
is to prosper, without anger:
we strive.
