Is My Studies A Crime? Poem by Monyping Marial Buot

I have chosen to know something on this Earth.
I love to learn new things
And it is now an eerie to you people
Non of you like it
No one love it at all
Although I have given myself to suffer for it,
Though some of you had studied enough
Know the importance of education
To human life.
It is still like you have never learnt A B C & D,
Never learnt A e I o U
Since you were born.

I love to study as human love to live
As you love to eat and drink.

Have you ever been refused to
drink pure water for two days?

How did you feel?

Did you feel happy?
Tell me.....

I know seeing me not studying is not a big deal to you
It doesn't matter to you
It is like seeing a dog playing with it puppies
Like monkey playing at the edge of the top tree

You don't think of it completely.

I beg
All I want to acquire from studies is knowledge
It is more than weapons of war to me.
I am learning new things, I need our future to be something great,
I need to make a united family of Panbuot Kon
I need to make it shine among the thousands of families in the world here, particularly in Africa
Family to be praise by all nations
Family of no regret
That is all i need to do please.

But it is like i have jointed a Military school
It is very different from that

In Military, you are trained and taken to front line
Which is not there with school
In school you are taught
And then chose a career which is good for you.

I am an egalitarian person

I believe in egalitarianism

I believe in studies

Is it a crime to study that you abandoned me like this? ? ?
