LONE




LONE


Read
and alienate yourself
to the nth degree

Think
and silence yourself
with a paper degree

Learn
and hide yourself
under that P..h..D..

Talk to no one
in the privacy of you
Read to someone
in the corner of a vacant room

Think with the best
dead philosophy
Learn the strokes
Dead painters’ gallery

Admire yourself
along this dead road’s mystery
Alone
You’re not alone
You’re your best company

Sail
to a place that is nowhere
and learn to be yourself
out there

You are educated
above the living

Sing your praises to the dead

Alone.

  2. Thank you..I wrote it as my response to academia and their lack of forward thought. thank you..and a paper does not define one as 'educated'..It's merely formula..

  3. So true, Ginger! A degree is not a measure of a person at all!
