Zoe Lambert Poet I do not know?

I Learnt By Myself

Teacher, you taught me social studies;

But you never told me what this society is like.

Teacher, you taught me mathematics;

But you never taught me how to share in life.

Teacher, you taught me Catholicism;

But not about "Judas”es who come disguised.

Teacher, you taught me zoology;

But you never told me that " *****sapiens" are wild.

Teacher, you taught me arts and crafts;

But not about living, which is also an art.

Teacher, you taught me all the sciences;

But you never told me that love comes from the deepest place of our heart.

I LEARNT BY MYSELF.....!!!!

L'Nass Shango June 4, 2009 at 8:19 PM Just now prior to this I was thinking that our best critic is our parents and our best teacher is experience ... but for a heck of a price ... this poem is about true reality, and it is wonderful.

William Kershaw June 2, 2009 at 1:48 PM We all learn by ourselves. Parents, teachers priests and con men all exist only to give us the tools we need to explore the universe for our own enrichment and the discovery of Gods true meaning. A wonderful read and a small bit of philosophy I'll keep to examine again and again. Your devoted, Will
