True Knowledge

Sometimes I've got better things to do than solve quadratic equations Or throw my chemistry book against the wall in a fit of frustration. I don't want to drag myself out of bed just to watch a movie. Honestly, at eight in the morning sleep and dreams behoove me. And is it really important to get an A On something I don't care about anyway? Or is it more important to simply learn... To thirst, to hunger, to need, to yearn For truths about people and what we feel- To know what's false and what is real? That is the knowledge that students desire, And a teacher who knows this can be the crier, Who spreads the gospel of what students require. Only then can we take learning higher.
