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…
Thank you dear poet
