Education has become
a point in
percentages and good marks
instead of the awareness
the learning
it should have been..

Children are tortured
unknowingly at times
as we put them up
as exhibits..

Instead of empathizing
with their plight
saying it's okay -
They are more important
than the results they bring in..

We put them at the stake
of our pride and joy..

Jewels we need to feel
good about..

Always missing the beauty
of that uncut diamond
which we chiselled..

Unfortunately sometimes

Maybe into nothing....
