For the Sake of Knowledge

Step forward into the institution,
Do it for the sake of knowledge,
Information is a powerful thing,
You should get some sort of edge.

Learn about all the things in the world,
To learn some sort of skill of trade,
Do it under the watchful florescent lights,
You can’t learn anything in unregulated shade.

And learn all our norms and conditions,
In that trial and error way,
We can teach you anything you need to know,
But it’s with time and pain you’ll pay.

Everything, except how to live,
How to be an exceptional human being,
We’ve no use for anything of that sort,
It’s not a sight worth seeing.

And in the shades are those,
Who learn for knowledge’s and life sake.
Education can make you learn,
But never teach you what’s really at stake.
