two hundred.

education coming to a halt.

room filled with empty

heads

information spilling from the
lips of instructors, ears closing
at the breath of every last word said.

heads

filled with complete emptiness

while education is begged for in countries
across the globe, across the globe children in
homes pleading to the parents for the opportunity

appreciation

grew legs to walk out the door of those
who are opportune to the acquisition of
a stable institution, one who keeps them going.

but they choose to neglect,
we choose to neglect, the elevation
from the information that is presented to us

we choose
we have choice
we have reasoning.

but we choose to sit and abuse the
rooms in buildings constructed to learn,
made to teach, made to "grow."

and then we stop to wonder where our money goes.
