Ed Learnitall was thin and tall
A teacher to troubled youth
With a lifetime pursuing new degrees
Sparked his relentless quest for truth
Someday well hold the answers, hed say
As he framed his new degree
Until then he wrote his papers
And the words flowed endlessly
But the more the man discovered
The worse he felt inside
The truth, he thought, would set him free
Because were drowning in a sea of lies
Yet the truth is all his papers
Strained the human eyes
The truth was that nobody loved him much
The truth certainly hurt inside
But the truth is we all feel this way
At some point in our lifes brief time
Still we clutter up our windows view
And we bury the pain inside
What if we learned a lot less?
And instead we tried to live
What if we truly loved those around us?
What if we started to forgive?

| The relentless search for truth often reveals that the whole time, the truth was right in front of us. :) That was a very inspirational poem. Well done. Knowledge is wonderful, but there are greater things in life. |
