Education Rights To An Honorary Doctorate Edumacation
by Usiku Edumacation, you depletes meWith mastery of stupidity
E're'body so proud-like of me
Seeings I'm less den intended to be
I was doing so darn well
Killing myself to successfully fail
Dey jes up and hands me dis PhD
Sez it represents symbolically
What I'm working fuh actually
No greatness necessary
No knowledge of self especially
Jes keep on trying to get it
By earning credits on credit
Then trying to cash dem dere degrees
Somehows dey done trick-and-treated me
Promised to provide the key to locks
Education's sho'nuff good, I thought
All I got was dis here big ol' rock
A no saving grace papered weight
To go with this chosen hard place
I sees now I's plumb dumb
Thanks a lot, edumacation

Most people know they cannot be who they are at their jobs. They cannot be their true selves.
We must progress through levels of intuition before we can graduate to earn degrees of wisdom.
