Vegetable Peelers

There should be schools, colleges, and 
universities for 
vegetable peelers who can 
read and 
write well.

Delightful eyes,
smiling mouth,
tender ears,
extended arms,
All waited for me,
But  with me
were only frogs!
I caught while
on wild hunt
in muddy waters
of the colleges!...

Hiding their poison,
colleges feign

Promising sunshine,
delivering rain

Knowledge infected,
politics vile

Lambs to the slaughter
—Athena defiled

A form of exorcism in schools,
Done by modern magicians
trained in unique ways in colleges
To remove Beelzebub of ignorance,
Hidden in learners’ head; and
Those who see Beelzebub escaping shout;
Teacher, teacher, teacher…...!...

I have searched all places
colleges, schools, churches

I tore through dark bushes
the forests and beaches I saw

the dreams I dreamed in vain
sorrow not peace they brought

I announce to the world in joy
At last my lost rib is by my side

At last you are here for me× 2...

Open fields
No farmer reaping corns
Eternal pastures
Bereft of grazers
Streets and avenues
Dead silence only broken by military convoys
Houses and apartments
Men hiding like mice
Schools and colleges
Momentary sirens
Graveyards and crematoriums
Bustling with the dead

That’s you, dear world, today...

protecting others~
by sacrificing their own lives
warriors steal hearts

not only borders~
in hospitals too, white coats
saving others' lives

In schools and colleges~
building nation's character
painstaking gurus

lending their voices~
for just, fair, equal systems
warriors on street

Simply My Opinion
Miracle Man
8/13/2024

Many believe it’s their time,
to just throw out their chest.
So being anti most things,
they destroy within a protest.
They’re beginning to appear
as in the stupid stage of life.
I wonder, if at some colleges,
they have a major called strife?

Ivy vines made a slow lazy crawl
up the side of the red bricked walls
competing with resilient cobwebs
their pretty ascent protected by spiders

Ivy’s shiny verdant points impressively sharp
making a soundless but dynamic impact
the contrast reminding spectators of holidays
all colleges need a building like this one...

Unremitting responsibilities 
Aspirations tampered by reality
Relentless quest for more
Beautiful wife, children, home
Cars, boat, vacations, clothes
All requisite trappings
Abundance of wealth and success
Colleges, tuitions, mortgages
Debt free, substantial savings
Old age, sickness, infirmity
Dusty, unplayed
Fender Stratocaster guitar...

The clock ticks
When will the world fix
Everyday concerns
As in, equality for all
And an educational system
Where all learn?

No more Ivy League colleges
For bragging rights
All knowledge is to enhance
Ones insight

For employment
No more unbalanced scales
For opportunity
All shall be able to hear
The bell

The clock ticks
When will people fix
A social system
Where all men mix?...

I asked them a question
we are triplets sent here
without choice here we are
I am the Body,
you are the Soul
and I see the Mind
all of us shall live
and spent time on earth
I shall be roaming here
going for leisure
learning in colleges
meeting friends
fighting enemies
but you the Soul and mind
tell me as my brothers;
Where will you stay?
What will you be doing?
Shall we go back together?...

Our young man no longer
are pulling out parts of their skin
to free themselves
from leather band binds.

Nowadays they are pulling
themselves to science
and colleges
to cultivate their minds.

World changes
and so do the ways of life.
Brothers look at other nations,
how far they got.

Spirit is mighty on our altars
of our creator God.
He gave us his son
and we give ours to imitate his love....

Education was meant 
  to provide the tools

Not to build the
  house

Colleges wounded by 
  ‘enlightened’ fools

Where by deception  
  truth has bled out

Young minds are
  now lost

At a very great 
  cost

To a system  
  rigged from the start

And for grades they will 
  kneel

With all verity
  concealed

Mindlessly searching for their 
  next class
     —in the dark

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)...
