Mark Of
Knowledge Dr Yamin Cheng
A poem by
A person of knowledge
Asks only when he knows
Not when he does
not know A person of knowledge
For how can one ask Sees the many
for a direction things before him
When he doesn’t As a family of
even know one another
Where he wants to go Where differences
have commonalities
A person of knowledge And oppositions
Sees difficulty as easy have agreements
But not that easy
is simplicity A person of knowledge
To think that easy The more he
is simplicity seeks to know
Is to make one’s The less he thinks
judgment a difficulty he knows
He sees things as
what they are
And not his own ego
