Teaching Poem by Ariel Herzog

Arrogance
of man born into this enigma of life
to believe that he holds the knowledge worthy to impart to others - especially children
What is man but a product of his learning
his learning of life
marred by prejudices and desires
lust, and his self-indulging drives.
And yet he believes that his ways are right
worthy to be passed on to another generation.
His teachings mere teachings of himself.
But as teaching wanes, chaos reigns -
And that is my saving grace.
