Academia's Lantern

Formal education, requires a fence With borders to confine, and logic intense Three letters that matter, the I, S, and M Each school suffixed over, its member’s defend Realism, Rationalism, Idealism all… Each name its own failing, as verity calls True thought has no class or Academie named It stands on its own, the truth its sole claim With knowledge in conflict, the days turn to night Academia’s lantern —burned out in the fight (Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
