Education

She bears the name of learning
Hungry men can still be hungry
Yet, she is wooed by them all!

She steps into the life
Of the whole community
Like a warrior
She batters castles of ignoramus.

Our blood gush out for cure –
Where are our true feelings?
Where are the peace and joy
For which the folk fight?

The garment is off!
The carcass is full of knowing
He prides in a humbled woman!
