The cacophony surrounds me yet I remain unperturbed
My eyes give the illusion of deep concentration though my mind has wandered off into it's own utopia
Those who think they know me feel I waste my time and talents, my endowments remain unemployed
Switch perspectives and my dilemma will present itself to you. I never wished these burdens called "gifts" upon myself.
Education is a way to propagate the ruling ideology
For students it's a scapegoat for all problems
To me it's a fruitless and futile exercise
Because knowledge can only be gained willfully
Why sit through lectures that find the opposite ends of ear tunnels
Leaving the mind as unaffected as it always was.
The only goal this futile exercise accomplished is to foster drudgery in the name of education.
Leave a question hanging in the air
An incomplete idea arousing curiosity
Maybe even an irresistible challenge and witness the miraculous turn of events
I appeal for a rising, a rebellion to equate education with knowledge and sagacity
