Poem: The conditions are not the same
In the classroom of life
Knowledge is a key component
Not only in the race for wealth and success
But also in the department of psychology
Knowledge boosts morale
Giving one the confidence of a lion
And the etiquette of a gentleman (or woman)
Knowledge is the broom
That sweeps clean the fabric of understanding
Allowing wisdom to flow
It’s of utmost importance
That we state the facts
Inequality kills not only the economic value of a person
It destroys the psychological fabric
Eroding the natural platforms for talent to flourish
In today’s world, educational inequality is entrenched
The conditions of learning are not the same
But the requirements for success are placed far higher than necessary
It makes no common sense
To find a student in today’s world
Sitting on his lap
On the racecourse of life (classroom)
It’s a pity that regardless of our technological progress
Humanity has remained stagnant in his moral and human rights deliberations
It’s of fundamental importance
To raise the platform of learning
For every child regardless of race or colour
It should be a basic human right
For every child to be given education
In a clean and conducive environment
Otherwise, humanity will remain rooted
On the fundamentally broken platform of inequality
