The More We Do Learn

 Few people short listed for a Nobel Prize

And all people grow older but few do grow wise

But we should never stop learning until the day we do die

Those who think they know it all believe their own lie

Einstein was not the top pupil in his classroom in the primary school

But he turned out to be nobody's fool

A man who has been sketched by artists and honoured in story and song

Among humanity's great thinkers he does belong

Those who like to profess their knowledge one can only believe

Are usually not good at listening and knowledge can be slow to receive

We learn from listening to others of their lives experiences every day

That we never stop learning in truth one can say

And the more we do learn the more we come to realize

That we do know so little this not a surprise.
