opposing teachers teachers opposing
teach a culture spoon fed
students lacking passion's filter
unwilling in effort to discern for self

preaching to a people with
little practice to understand teaching
beautiful words
dangerous in their difficulty to comprehend
messages manipulated, agenda furthered
easily misconstrued by a
culture angry mind

frustrated people
disconnected from guideline's intention
their failureβ€”to seek understanding
wisdom extension, ethereal knowledge, instead
posing philosophers
thought too shallow to
penetrate armour of their consideration
an axe too dull
unable to bite beyond bark
giant impossible to fell
mountains unmovable from footing

hatred
spread under guise of
love
chains
jewelled clandestine

everywhere everyone making claim of truth
though never their own, always
second hand told to believe
yet hypocrisy hating a world of sheep

between two teacher's twin lies
lies our truth
to find them who seek to find
not secret not taught, but
contemplate philosophize
answers dangle from line
of them who learnt to fish
