An Education is
The only tool
That really makes us
Better than beasts.
For dolphins have better brains,
And they, dogs and cats,
And monkeys maybe trained,
Yet not educated.
An Education is not
Learning how to earn.
Its how to cultivate your mind,
To be a good human being.
Its not just learning how to exist,
But how to ‘live’ a life.
An Education is not only
In schools and colleges.
It’s in the endless lessons
Of life itself.
Educate yourself.
It’s the legacy you inherited
When you were born.
Its the only real legacy
Of Mankind.
