Academics & its’ Resulting Experiences – by Noor Rahim
It was in School that we learned our 3 R’s
In addition, we did Biology, Economics & Physics
What a drag we thought it was; during those times
But little did we know of its’ impact in our future life’s experiences
In Biology we garnered knowledge of the birds & the bees
And the goodness of the soil, foliage, leaves & trees
But alas! Man’s destruction of this wealth is endless; it seems
Due to wants and needs; and more so for profitable avarice
In Economics did we study the value of money, financial balances & controls
The meaning of intrinsic & extrinsic values dependent on gold reserves
But these values are no longer thought of in these modern times
Replaced by what appears to be just governmental promissory notes
It can now be summed in the lesson on Physics
Quoting one of Sir Isaac Newton’s “Laws of Motion”; that states
“For every action there’s an equal & opposite reaction”; is how it goes
How appropriate its’ application in every aspect of our lives
Needless to say, we have forgotten our lessons & applications
That “Man will kill Nature; and Nature will kill man” in the future years
Lack of foresight has overtaken our materialistic, moral & spiritual values
And left us in a World of Uncertainty, for our future generations
