The hounds close in.

The hounds close in.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Under their radar
working many years
he escaped their net
only to find...
he'd been caught.
undone.

The knowledge 
he carried
in his suitcase,
removed.
Hands on handle
they carefully opened
to reveal the case
empty.

He had no knowledge at all.

very interesting ... a paradigm of misconceptions all around ... the difference between knowledge and wisdom does not escape me ... can not help but think of terrorism reading this ..but that just ruins the fun ;)

i love this parallel to someone carrying a bomb...sometimes knowledge can be dangerous....and sometimes it's more dangerous when people think they know everything but are carrying around the empty suitcase.
