When Education Is A Burden Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Some have been condemned
by education
Some have been destroyed
by education
They would have been better of
without it
They are worse of with it
Education is a burden to them.

Education has made some to
be more foolish
Instead of being enlightened
their world has been darkened
They are educated fools
They are more dangerous than
the worst illiterates
They have led this world to its present state
Their education is burdensome to us.

Their education has enabled them
to build atomic and nuclear bombs
Their education has enabled them to
process foods that destroy our bodies
Their education has taught them how to
embezzle state funds and destroy economies
They have formulated unworkable
political systems
The world would be in a better state
without these educated fools
Their education is a burden to the world.
