A cursory fleeting glance at the landscape
Of education especially as a means of escape
From the shackles of ignorance
Distinct variations lock horns in a perpetual dance.
Try formal and informal
Being schooled on what is good, bad and vital
For survival in the context of the home setting
Mama, papa, aunties uncles and sundry advising
Perpetually regardless of whether it’s heeded or not
Especially when it can be claimed one was out of earshot
And institutionalized education
A means for achieving civilization.
Parallel modes of enlightenment maybe serving one purpose
Or divergent purposes one ought to reflect and pause.
