Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Just Educated

Just educated 
Gave me a space 
I need a practical life

Gave me your advice 
But Don't forget I have my mind 

I have been sitting too many years 
In those class room 
Accumulating all forms of school
Lessons

So Many school exams I have passed few I fail

So many books I have read to accumulate your society certificate 
That allow me to be a Morden slave 
Oh yes a modern slavery to money 

What can I do best ?
Was it all I was thought on those 
Class room?

Hell no 

Now am on the outside world 
I go places
Another school of it own kind
A mighty school
Mostly on the street 

I wonder and learn 
I learn to think
So now I could see beyond 
My eyes 

All this life gives 
Why do we make it a debt
All this nature bring 
We do we destroy them 
With All this educated people  
Why is still no peace in our generation 

So I refuse be called educated
I prefer to grow with my mind 
For when one can't ask 
Questions about our today 
False reality  sorry then you 
Are only but 
Just educated
