Education That Matters

At the age 7, looked at school for the first time With immense joy, curiosity asked my pappa I would like to join the pledge as they were Then the reply I got was a lucid silence I urged him I want to go there right now Then the response was, we can't afford With struggle as government student in the past Currently, serving the nation as a civil servant "Poverty is the worst form of violence," Quoted by the father of the nation Should I get the blame for violence I didn't commit Does God prefer us to be Rich or Poor? I believe that God who divide the people, like The one who is Rich, the other who is poor, But both poor and rich, Unified by education So All we need is Education That Matters. #3 #lovendsken #poetry

Rohith, this is good, based on the realities in India. Great there is no bitterness. I assume - hard to find references - that before invaders came, the CASTE system (panchayat) took care of all (justice, welfare, blood feuds). With western domination, we use MONEY as a symbol of value. Fortunately, wise folks & yogis - with no money - are still highly revered.
