Your education! - A short poem..

I feel if education was a person, this is what it would have to say to us today...

Some food for thought...

We live in an age where the race for survival keeps getting intense with each passing day..

The challenges to succeed and the burden of failure haunts most of us night and day..

While unfortunate notions such as competition, marks, exams and cut offs seem to rob away my true identity..

I was in fact meant to be your best guide and companion on this everlasting and beautiful journey..

They say that the real joy of learning and seeking knowledge unconditionally was man's main responsibility..

But here I am today being treated just as another commodity..

Oh children of Adam, wake up from your slumber and save me from my destiny..

For I will hold the keys to your success and future always until eternity..

So treat me with dignity for the love of humanity..

Mans true friend and salvation..

I am your education!
