Poetry is a great way of understanding the 'drab' concepts of academia...

It is an ideal way to learn with RIGHT BRAIN CREATIVITY

Here is one example:

                               IN.VERSE.EDU

                A thing about education one has to always remember
                   It is not to learn in Jan….and forget by December !

             Education is not…should not…be linked with grades
               it is time to be real…call spades as spades !

                Learning as a process … may not end in ones life time
                but what we are told is to cram up things in our prime

              and then later on…reap the benefits of these degrees          
                      ah! what a shame ! we succumb… but everyone
                 secretly disagrees ;

                 we all when we grow up recognise the faulty logic
                of wasting our best years in merely learning the trick

              of getting good grades….of mastering the rote
                  and not really learning…anything of note !

                  Then we all end up…shallow yet prosperous
                    and aha ! life becomes an ordeal for each one of us

                 What , if instead , we spend our young years
           in knowing and growing… overcoming our hidden fears

                   what if , instead , we look at the schools
                as great places to explore…not creatures of rules

                 what if , instead, we take joy in finding out
                and shun these wretched feelings of fear and of doubt

                What if , instead , we don’t study just for examination
         we shall not only excel….yet live a life full of elation !!!
