On My Way To Higher Learning

-On my way to Higher Learning-

On my way to higher learning
Thirst for knowledge hotly burning
holes into my soul left yearning.
Dazed once more by heedless turning,
causing me to dodge by swerving.
This time though I stopped, and cursing,
approached the latest jerk, unnerving
this moron with knuckles turning
car door glass into a churning
mass of tiny razors flying
bloody shards of chaos slicing,
As I grabbed his face, and smiling,
slammed my points on proper driving
His retort made null and voided
my closing statement not avoided
Knuckles sent to redefine
this moron’s use of his own mind
Repeatedly I made it known
by bruising flesh and cracking bone
Until my point was driven home.
I did then leave this fool alone
to contemplate his use of phone.
Reclaimed my bike and motored on.
Mind and body back on task. 
Once more on my way to class.

This has an interesting duplicity about it. The notion of heading to higher learning coupled with the very...well, Neanderthal, approach to conflict resolution. Interesting perspective, and vividly described. Nice work, sir.
