The Educational Investment Poem by John Sensele

Education
How nimble nerds love your power
Snap your fingers, job vacancies obey
Societies worship your hour
Which honours every investment abbey.

Education
Truants totter at your presence
Assess them, they tremble
Illiterates hurt at your absence
Which renders them feeble.

Education
Academic awards transmute into passports
That enable holders to cross job borders
Which illiterates loathe at interview ports
Where illiterates endure exclusion orders.

Education
Certificates save orphans and widows from property grabbers
Who extract estates of the deceased
Snatched from surviving members by family robbers
Leaving orphans and widows distressed.
