"What You Don't Know"
by Wes Fessler

"What you don't know won't hurt you."
Have you ever heard that phrase?
Whoever made that statement
really had one of those days.
What you don't know will hurt you!
That is what he should have said.
It's hard to find success these days
if you don't use your head.
A solid education
is unequaled in its worth.
A vast supply of ignorance
degrades our troubled Earth.
So why not fill your lantern
that with wisdom it may burn?
What you don't know will hurt you
if you don't take time to learn.
