“Knowledge behind Paywall
(Open Access Sonnet)
Knowledge aloof from people,
locked shut behind paywall,
bears no significance in society,
holds no worth whatsoever.
That's why huge chunks of my works,
are accessible freely to the world.
In fact, if I had no bills to pay,
would've given away my last miracle word!
Record of light is not proof of light,
Light must be proven by existence alone.
Over a third of my sonnets are available
free, including some of my most potent ones.
Light accessible only to select elites,
is not light, but filth uncivilized.
Paywall is a violation of knowledge,
it vilifies the sanctity of human light.”

“Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being...It appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it.”
