Student expresses himself through verse
October 14, 2010
School of Thought
We are taught to think
In uncertainty and in disbelief
We are taught to pursue curiosity
And embrace “intellectual uncertainty”
Teachers are unsure of what they teach
We revel in our imperfection
Unsure of our independence
Doubting our intelligence
School of Thought
We are bribed to question
We are forced to listen
We are rewarded for following
As Prisoners of the school
we ourselves becomes teachers
we teach about our own disappointments
shackling our students in our chains
School of Thought
A Paradox of learning
a silhouette of education
a shadow of information
We control our reality
warping actuality
creating insanities
causing abnormalities
School of thought
Institution of Imagination
Remember we are students
teach us Teacher.
