Poetry..

I studied something interesting today.. Well, not actually studying it, but just making it as an example for something which i can't remember, haha.. And this is surely something which can relax my mind rather than those programming languages, haha.. Its about a poetry written by Donald Rumsfeld (Former US Secretary of Defense). I've heard of his name before but know little about his work. I just found out that he guides the war in Iraq, and has been a pilot, a congressman, an ambassador, a businessman, and a civil servant. But few people know that he is also a poet. Here is how his poem sounds.. p/s: its kind of confusing for some.. hehe


The Unknown..

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
