The Wall Of Illiteracy Poem by Reinz Acasio

Like every citizen, I have the desideratum to education
I am mending my way but not in the right direction
How can I live without remembering my past?
If I have an enormous chagrin in facing the mass

This perennial rage has seethed my tears
I have been straying to turbulent streets
Creating obnoxious uproar and sloppy vandalism on the walls
In order to suffuse the locution from my whooping thoughts

What is the essence of these rights of the child in our nation?
If I can’t even construe what’s within my perception
This wall serves as the delineation of my expression
Who will unveil my eyes through proper instruction?

The inception of affluence hangs on the hands of who persist
I have been attempting to be ameliorated but still I desist
Like a defunct leaf, I am flowing in despair
Together with the rain drops my endeavor vanishes as I veer.
