A journey so obscure, abstruse and convoluted
Opened my eyes; A world encapsulated in complexity.
Discovered as I: Squatting and Stooping
Mastered as I pacing with time and tide,
The juvenile smile lasted no more………
A growing physical body, a unsatisfied intrigued mind,
Suppressed and concealed was knowledge,
Education meant grades, Grades meant employment,
Earning a livelihood, felt most imperative
The obscurity of the journey, now, seemed unraveled,
The race for “The survival of the fittest”.
Know not did I; the adventure was a race,
The growing body meant maturity and responsibility.
Evil is the world, Sagacious though art be;
Innocent is the mind; iniquity the world’s ambience
Unclothed was I born, Unclothed shall I leave
The race seems meaningless; Knowledge now meaningful,
The fear has outgripped, Knowledge provides prudence,
Know now do I, the Journey indeed is adventurous,
For now,
Education is Knowledge and Knowledge is Education
