Emancipation through learning
EMANCIPATION THROUGH LEARNING I sought to evolve into a whole new piece The ropes of learning strung all around me Twining and whining me all over Inclining my mind and heart to know. Knowledge is wide; Wisdom is broad, Ignorance is empty, vain and fruitless- There I lay deep-seated in its root Seeking emancipation and upliftment And alas! came Emancipation Running to my rescue; Bringing with it learning as my salvation. I responded verily, immersed myself deep Into its bosom to ruminate through to the length The height the depth the breadth the width Of learning- the best thing that has ever happened to me.
