Culture

Education is good, learning is great
One day everyone will have 
A University degree but the academia 
Will not be so happy 
Street cleaners with letters after their name
Cooks with literary degrees, 
And the status University gives will mean 
Little, everyone is intellectually equal 
Something must be done to stop this rot,
Perhaps wood carving will do,
And leave the education to the masses.
