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.
Think and silence yourself with a paper degree..love that..I don't have one :) Great piece!!
ReplyDeleteThank 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..
ReplyDeleteSo true, Ginger! A degree is not a measure of a person at all!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you..
