The Academic Mask Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
The Academic Mask
Learning should be an open meadow
and not a cave to hide
When coupled with experience
its lessons to abide
No degree or title, money or fame
will direct you toward the light
Life's one great lesson—living free
the academic's plight
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October,2018)
