POETRY IN EDUCATION...in-verse-edu

IN.VERSE.EDU



A thing about education one has to always remember
It is not to learn in Jan….and forget by December !

Education is not…should not…be linked with grades
it is time to be real…call spades as spades !

Learning as a process … may not end in ones life time
but what we are told is to cram up things in our prime

and then later on…reap the benefits of these degrees
ah! what a shame ! we succumb… but everyone
secretly disagrees ;

we all when we grow up recognise the faulty logic
of wasting our best years in merely learning the trick

of getting good grades….of mastering the rote
and not really learning…anything of note !

Then we all end up…shallow yet prosperous
and aha ! life becomes an ordeal for each one of us

What , if instead , we spend our young years
in knowing and growing… overcoming our hidden fears

what if , instead , we look at the schools
as great places to explore…not creatures of rules

what if , instead, we take joy in finding out
and shun these wretched feelings of fear and of doubt

What if , instead , we don’t study just for examination
we shall not only excel….yet live a life full of elation !!!
