Into the unknown
Alert but not fully prepared
March down the path of discovery
Anger must not be there
Seeking to find that something
Purposeful all the way
Each step a new horizon
Clear thinking to the end
Instructions there are none
A hand to catch you now
Looking for ever upward
Peace and serenity there
Earning the right to see through
Reasoning a little askew
Searching to know the answer
Opening the door to joy
Now is the time to be real.
Not all educators possess keen minds,
PhD holders, learners, sometimes blind.
Some, a gift, a talent they conceal,
Reasoning not their strong appeal.
They disregard others' facts and views,
Believing they're the ones to choose.
In their minds, the best at every stage,
Egos locked in an intellectual cage.
But wisdom lies in open thought,
Listening to what others have taught.
Reasoning, a shared human skill,
No one's born with the perfect skill.
Let's encourage humble minds,
To leave arrogance and pride behind.
In learning, we all have our part,
Reason together, with open heart.

You may hear me recite most of my PS anthology on YouTube under my pen name ichthyschiro
Read over 250 more of my short forms @strand poet on twitter
One do not seek what brightness cannot reach
And one do not speak what words cannot preach
And not a class of his own has rights of one's speech
So shall rightness be gain to each of his own beseech.
To be of innocent reasoning, a soulful cannot deny
What words of heart and deeds of rights can comply
And so to one's joy of cry, to another a tearful decry
And to what it may seem, many have tried but gone awry.
So to say forth, a character shall never do
To seek of matters where it shan't be accrue
A forsaken wisdom we livings threw
And what to not hold is a challenge to not redo.
