A Learning Curve...

A Learning Curve…

What is this great impertinence
we call knowledge,
that we all learn through life,
school or college.
It seems the more I learn
fills me with deepest concern.
Thus, allowing me only
an odd adage.

How can we prove
proof is really proof,
when all our teachers
seem so grand or so aloof.
They hide implied truth away,
saying we’d all be led astray
We must be careful not to shatter
their alleged, glass roof.

Why didn’t I write down
what I’d just thought
instead leaving my mind’s
trials in a nought
A simple act with pen and ink
lets the world know what I think.
Alleviating me of always
feeling fraught.

But in the end it’s down to
your personal learning curve,
or in my case how much
schoolwork I could swerve.
For they only want us educated
so we can serve, and I for one
believe much more than
this I deserve, because even
in today’s world with half a
brain and a computer your
never going to starve.
