Damilare Samuel Poet Rhyme

The Lies I Was Told About School

I was told at my first entrance 
That schooling is my survival chance
Later knowledge not school made me bold
Oh I discovered, what a lie I was told!

I was told that school is education
But a stereotyped learning brought frustration
Yes, it gave a little but stole my joy
I decipher, its breeding will make me a toy

I was told schooling is success,
A barge of true happiness.
Until I saw successes without school
And I saw scholar in poverty's pool

School brings fulfillment
When it's guarded with every commitment
But how can I be sure of peace
When with her arms, my fears increase?

Now, I refused to be deceived 
By every lie I once believed
I learn beyond scholarship
I choose a better mentorship
