Academia’s Lantern

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Formal education,

 requires a fence

 

With borders to confine,

 and logic intense

 

Three letters that matter,

 the I, S, and M

 

Each school suffixed over,

 its member’s defend

 

Realism, Rationalism,

 Idealism all…

 

Each name its own failing,

 as verity calls

 

True thought has no class

 or Academie named

 

It stands on its own,

 the truth its sole claim

 

With knowledge in conflict,

 the days turn to night

 

Academia’s lantern

 —burned out in the fight
