Everlasting nonsense wrought from beyond knowledge's
grave, standing beside books of learning, finding out
how nothingness survives.

Believing in something wholeheartedly that deserves
not your faith in it, squalidly stooping, snooping
around doorways of wisdom, finding ignorance of their
own decaying at their feet.

Today education has been delegated to propagation by
ignorant people becoming teachers, principals,
superintendents and school boards.

Managing only to destroy the intelligence of many smart
children, departments of education need to be relegated
off of the earth.

Only then will learning become an element in today's
society, with a semblance of educated humanity.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
