Academia

Forgiving is easy
for those not directly
offended -- like, you
can’t sell love to the
loveless – no need.

Tenure.  No tomatoes
tossed vs a good grade. 
Win the aim
but lose the war.

Heil, Academia

     evil lies torch and burn

Flaws

Whats about these flaws that everyone is scared of 
Scared enough to hide behind a mask
But never show them to the world

The Home of Love and Academia

A Matriculation Poem to Welcome Freshers at the University of Makeni

Welcome to an academic home of excellence, 
Where hunters hunt love in excess
And fishers fish knowledge and accumulate providence.
An academic place above;
Where we build a civilization of love with no curve.

UniMak has nurtured her seed in civilized love and education of quality.
Her breed is scattered

I Cooked the Book That Would Not Tap

I Cooked the Book that Would Not Tap
 
A Doomsday, a nightmare gone wrong,
My hand shot with pain and didn’t stop,
Bandages hid the wound I wove for kong,
The silence echoed round the wheel fop.

I screamed with tears which said the news,
When sirenes had been screened for writ,
Draughts unveiled the blood for reviews,
That cared enough to

Millennial Academia

The tragedy within the new
  school of ‘thought’ ….

To know ‘about’ everything
  —while knowing naught

Where universities foster
  professorial demise

Poisoning the young
  —with their fantasy and lies

Solitude In Academia

Homer, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Goethe, and Crane;
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoy, Whitman, and Twain;
Whose imagination and toil helped to unfold
Stories, philosophies, and lessons to be told.

The inquisitive student absorbed in his books,
Contemplating and learning while everyone looks
At him with judgmental glances, as if to say,
“Strange seeing him indoors even on this fine day.”

But to him, the

To Acclimate Academia - Social Theological Studies

TO ACCLIMATE ACADEMIA - SOCIAL THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

Once God confused the languages, humanity processed out to form religion.
Yet, creation had given us our own separate places
WHEREFORE, the Berlin Wall was placed to confront differences in opinion.
Was one nation negated?
History has shown us that man is his own dilemma, woman is his triumph, and child is his
