Ibrahim Rabi'U Wisdom Poet Rhyme

The Lies I Was Told About School

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 parentship 
I choose a better mentorship

May Allah bless our parents
