You could mention my name in any hallway in any academic institution and you would have people foaming at the mouth.

Seether
Ow!
Seether is neither loose nor tight,
Seether is neither black nor white.
I tried to keep her on a short leash,
I tried to calm her down.
I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah.
Cant fight the seether x3
I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Seether is neither big nor small.
Seether is the center of it all.
I tried to rock her in my cradle,
I tried to knock her out,
I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.
Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3
I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Keep her down, boiling water,
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.
Oh, she is not born like other girls,
But I know how to conceive her.
Oh, she may not look like other girls,
But shes a snarl-toothed seether, seether!
Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3
I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Seether
Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3
I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Yeah.

Academics act like they are important, but when something is academic it is meaningless. People say, 'It's academic, now let's get work done.'

I was pretty dead set against ever writing an academic novel. It's always been my view that there are already more than enough academic novels and that most of them aren't any good. Most of them are self-conscious and bitter, the work of people who want to settle grudges.

The fate of institutions
If an institution must run
It must generate enough funds
To feed the people who run it.
If it must survive the founder,
Running it must be profitable
For the subsequent personals.
Otherwise, however noble
The cause is or however holy
The faith founded is,
The institution is bound to die.
The seed alone is helpless for its growth.

What? ' by Talile Ali
Into the hallway
Out in the street
Into the subway
Something to eat
Over the crossway
down at the desk
minutes to hour
none of it rest
muscles are cramping
fingers are sore
memory lapsing
can't think no more
finally exit
down in the streets
people are sweaty
smell like bad meat
back thru the hallway
into the tub
fall on the sofa
eatting a sub
rubing my eyes
scatching my head
fade into darkness
something like dead

By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action.

Did She Mention My Name
Its so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
And talk about the home town a million miles away
Is the ice still on the river, are the old folks still the same
And by the way, did she mention my name
Did she mention my name just in passing
And when the morning came, do you remember if she dropped a name or two
Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all the games
And by the way, did she mention my name
Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall
Are the young girls still as pretty in the city in the fall
Does the laughter on their faces still put the sun to shame
And by the way, did she mention my name
Did she mention my name just in passing
And when the talk ran high, did the look in her eye seem far away
Is the old roof still leaking when the late snow turns to rain
And by the way, did she mention my name
Did she mention my name just in passing
And looking at the rain, do you remember if she dropped a name or two
Wont you say hello from someone, theyll be no need to explain
And by the way, did she mention my name

We can speak about the institution, but ultimately the bar is the group that both is in touch with the public on the one hand and understands the judicial institution on the other.

Broken people
I know them from an old photograph-
my father sits on a stump in knickers
stern father by his side
mother in black and white
scattering chicken feed
I remember my father drove us to
the island where he is buried
parked in front of an institution
that reminded me of a prison
a woman in white brought Ann to us
we say her in a hallway
a woman with a placid face
who was somewhere nowhere
he spoke to her in calm tones
she looked beyond
we never met

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.

My life here
My Academic hunger's still alive;
My Institution won't reduce its pangs;
I have not given up as yet but will strive;
My Medical career in balance hangs.
There ain't fairness in most things done by men;
A lot of grudge prevails in all men's hearts;
For now, I've rested all my Acumen;
Always prefer to do my things in parts.
The world attempts, my hard-work to suppress;
Embark'd I've on a sprint, I'll always win;
In my Poesy, nothing can me depress,
Nor friends or foes, strangers or kith and kin.
Success will smile my way some day quite soon,
My Poetry won't be a bane but boon.

No Happy Endings
There are no happy endings,
Auntie said. Her words tasted
like bitter lemons in the mouth,
causing imaginary ulcers that
stung when ever words came out.
It was the way she said it, as if
she’d discovered some mystery
of the universe and hammered it
like brass. People meet, they have
kids and then after a while they die
and that’s it, she’d say, giving you a
look, clearing breakfast things away.
To your five year old ears, this seemed
like harsh; no mention of an afterlife
or heaven or all things will all right in
the end God will see to that; her words
heavy with sadness, leaving an odd taste
in the mouth like a fizzy drink gone flat.

Runaway Thoughts
Be stilled by a mouth of prayers
As I sing my blues away
Hearing your sighs of brokenness
I lay dead on these runaway thoughts
Choosing on forever's dream
And drinking the 'eyes' of 'whys'
Reasons I call subdued
By the colors of her runaway thoughts
Stilled by a foaming mouth of the sea
