A Little About A Lot

A Little About A Lot

By Nabih Saliba

To know a lot about a little

Or a little about a lot

Is a thing we should consider

But in practice often not

If a lot about a little

Then an expert you will be

Of the few things you have studied

Or have done repeatedly

Should you choose a lighter focus

For the things that you can learn

Then your interests will be wider

With all details no concern

If an expert on a subject

Or someone who knows a lot

Be it narrow or unfocused

Make the most of what you’ve got

In the end it only matters

If you help your fellow man

Use what knowledge you’ve been given

To help us be the best we can

To know a lot about a little

Or a little about a lot

Is not the thing that matters

But in practice means a lot.
