The Evolution of Academia

The Evolution of Academia                                                    May 26, 2013

Twenty pillars stood,
Suspending the grand façade as they should,
Illustrious splendour illustrated as best a sculptor could,
For worship of men great and small in assembly was understood,
Perfected as imperfection could be,
The temple of thought and recent fact,
Resurrected to stand unquestioned for all to see.
Fathomed depths of meaning deep,
So broad most minds dare not leap.
Rather stand to the side in shallow pools of sand.

When in pondering we find,
The threads of logic rather easy to unwind
And to another school of thought we bind,
Another tapestry of theory and scientific mind
In folly we follow, the blind lead the blind.
Taste and see that which is good,
Questioning what is truly truth as we should.
