Fortune Against Education

Dressing without a book is nakedness
If so who is a Lecturer
A people cracker
A person who makes photocopy
Of other scholars work
One who eats and earn by 
Academic deceit
A person who deprives
Smart pencils their grade

Who is a Lecturer
A ghost strike worker
With songs of incentives
He is blind to innovation
Maker of four years course
To eight years course
Because theirs is across
Border roofs

Who is a Lecturer
One who is thick and stick
To education like comb 
On a woman's hair
One whom learners cherish
With honour
A crusader of merit
As an optimist
He is a scholar whose death
Brings national grieve but
With generational legacy
