We carry it as daily cash But sooner or later end up throwing it in the trash We imprint knowledge in its soul Information we rapidly loose With every tick of the clock Refusing to stay in our long term memory Deciding to fly away And becoming our worse enemy How do we expect to succeed in life? If we set our goals based on extrinsic motivations? We set our minds On getting a passing grade in the class An “A” it’s just a letter A 4.00 just a quantitative number A college degree a white sheet of paper With someone’s wiggly lines Written to represent a name The true meaning of Attending school, College, a University Is for the passion of knowledge Wise individuals Study for the pleasure of being intellectual Casting ignorance away Why is it that we don’t care about learning? And make fools of ourselves with excuses and laziness What is the purpose of going to school? If by the end of 14 years You look back and realize You only went to keep a chair warm You were nothing But a furniture in an empty classroom That retained overnight what it learned And forgot it by the next sunset An A on paper But F on permanently encoded And easily retrieved knowledge How pathetic Isn’t it?

Student’s Paper

We carry it as daily cash But sooner or later end up throwing it in the trash We imprint knowledge in its soul Information we rapidly loose With every tick of the clock Refusing to stay in our long term memory Deciding to fly away And becoming our worse enemy How do we expect to succeed in life? If we set our goals based on extrinsic motivations? We set our minds On getting a passing grade in the class An “A” it’s just a letter A 4.00 just a quantitative number A college degree a white sheet of paper With someone’s wiggly lines Written to represent a name The true meaning of Attending school, College, a University Is for the passion of knowledge Wise individuals Study for the pleasure of being intellectual Casting ignorance away Why is it that we don’t care about learning? And make fools of ourselves with excuses and laziness What is the purpose of going to school? If by the end of 14 years You look back and realize You only went to keep a chair warm You were nothing But a furniture in an empty classroom That retained overnight what it learned And forgot it by the next sunset An A on paper But F on permanently encoded And easily retrieved knowledge How pathetic Isn’t it?

Prescription by Mother Nature Soma that lasts for as long as you dream Medicine without side effects Caviar with no expense A state of mind That takes you anywhere your imagination pleads Being able to become whoever you want Even not a human being Travelling the world at the speed of light Braking the barriers of distance and time A conversation with those who for long have died An unlimited world of happiness Brought upon the hiding of the sun The rising of the moon And the twinkling of the stars Pathway to heaven Caviar with no expense State of mind Taking you to the limit of your imagination Unlimited world of happiness That begins as you close your eyes Allowing your brain to take you To the grand tour of your life

You are born into a predestined identity Name, language and, culture assigned at birth Until you find yourself Crawling into a world of discovery Name, language and culture assigned at birth The apple ripens and falls from the tree Crawling into a world of discovery Stopping at the heart of four intersecting roads The apple ripens and falls from the tree Searching for an answer found within thyself Stopping at the heart of four intersection roads Not knowing who you will become Searching for an answer found within thyself Not knowing who you will become Frightened to make a mistake, even though You are born into a predestined identity

Know Thyself

You are born into a predestined identity Name, language and, culture assigned at birth Until you find yourself Crawling into a world of discovery Name, language and culture assigned at birth The apple ripens and falls from the tree Crawling into a world of discovery Stopping at the heart of four intersecting roads The apple ripens and falls from the tree Searching for an answer found within thyself Stopping at the heart of four intersection roads Not knowing who you will become Searching for an answer found within thyself Not knowing who you will become Frightened to make a mistake, even though You are born into a predestined identity

As long as the sun rises time will continue to pass by Greeting those who just arrived Kissing good by those headed for a better life You go to bed crawling and wake up as wrinkly as a raisin A blink of an eye and ten years have gone by Every year, month, day, minute, second its non replicable Non existing twice There will never be a yesterday like today Nor a today like yesterday Rocking back and forth in front of a warm fire place Looking at the non-stopping clock A lifetime printed in 90 karat golden sheets Capturing every stage of life Preserving memories until the end of time A person to be known thousands of years after their death Time machine Allowing people to re-live their greatest experiences All earth's gold brought together Transformed into a thin glossy sheet of paper An image, a picture A treasure...
