A wasted Degree

Sakwa Franc

Several years counted

Their hearts grew weary of prophecy

For their king had forewarned them

"A big snake will crawl on their land"

Some thought of killing it some thought of fun

 

Behold , every city has a prophet

Some to feed their bellies some to salvage

Finally, a snake crawled on their land

It breathed smoke and separated villages

" Age of civilizations" began to birth

 

Their culture were termed as archaic

Men who feared trousers and canned meat

People equally to baboons with no future

Schools were built to teach sense

Degrees were offered to test brains

 

Young men were flown to foreign lands

To equip and build academic muscles

In gymnastic rooms of classes they studied

Mental muscles were build by foreign cultures

But " hearts " became calloused

 

They became educated fools with degrees

Superior celestial research were done by them

But they forgot to search true love for humanity

Lands became polluted with wasted degrees

Enlightened priests denied true theology of God

 

Villages became wasted pits

No fear of parents was taught again

A young man with no wife but with seven children 

They flee to streets and turn to be thugs

Where is the degree you studied for?

    I Australia "education " is their 3rd biggest commodity. I don't want to swear.

    Your poetry is very mature and rejects all non sense! I hope that all parts of this world uses knowledge to give back to earth and each other…
