Poem

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”*
Thus was the lamentable protest of the Lord Himself 
…against wisdom-deficiency
Caused by truth-rejection, ignorance-reign, 
…skepticism-prevalence!!!

Propped with such rally point, here am I with my educator-voice
Protesting against inimical means that hinder every learner’s access 
To genuine quality education that fosters love to God and others.

Though I hail every government’s great educational thrust toward
national progress and development
I also bewail any educational system’s “destructive” drive
for global competition, intensifying “survival of the fittest” doctrine
smiting interdependence, drowning collaboration
enslaving others that are weak or incapable intellectually  …

Yes, I advocate for free education;
Yet I negate for the abuse of such blessing
through negligence, slothfulness and passivity to study well, 
while taking for granted school amenities…

Surely, I vote for education that fights poverty at all phases
But I oppose the use of education funds to champion
the cause of just the elite, depriving the impoverished  
to accessible educational resources…

Indeed, I am for education that promotes total well-being
especially the moral-spiritual aspect along faith's enhancement
While I shun education that glorifies self against the Supreme Educator
defying His established order, leading to chaos.

*Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
