THE CASTLE OF REBELLLION by Jernail S Aanand

 THE CASTLE OF REBELLLION 

Jernail S Aanand 

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
