Whatever Have the Governed Become?
What ever have the governed become?
Mere puppets fed some grain
Of fancy lies as elections come
As though they lack some needed brain?
What ever end shall the governed be,
Mere numbers on the survey scale?
Pressed upon and taxed so freely
To pay for debts when leaders fail?
Why does the governed keep so silent
Accepting all in meek obedience
When in their hearts Protest is bent
On shouting out their very Conscience?
No, the governed will speak and rule
No more of lies and sheer Deception
Governed we are and we're not fools
We will not cower in the face of Corruption!

Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.

Provocation
People in the road
I just want to spark the anger
To see how stupid you are
Easily be manipulated
People in the world
I just want to send the danger
To see how afraid you are
Easily be terrorized
People in the cloth
I just want to scratch the fire
To see how well you are
Easily be controlled
People in the slot
I just want to point the liar
To see how shock you are
Easily be distracted
And you will dance in my hand
And I will be laughing behind

Educations
education...... education..... educations......
The most important things in our life.........
only with education we can through our life easily....
u only manage to catch your dream with educations.........
whatever it is..... it will come true.... if you're educated...............
I've through my life almost 30years without education.....
and i can see.....
people are useless without educations......
and those educated are priceless.....in the eye's of the world
And now....
I realized how priceless educations are............
and i think....
still not too late to step up....
And i want to chasing my dreams............
even i know.......
I'm not younger anymore...........
Because............. if you're have no educations....
You're nothing.......
You're no body.......
And the most important thing.....
no body will look at you even with one sight..................

I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, it's governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.

Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him

This country must be governed, and can be governed, simply on questions of policy and administration and the French Canadians who have had any part in this movement have never had any other intention but to organise upon those party distinctions and upon no other.

We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free.

In a poem the excitement has to maintain itself. I am governed by the pull of the sentence as the pull of a fabric is governed by gravity.

The highest spirituality indeed moves in a free and wide air far above that lower stage of seeking which is governed by religious form and dogma; it does not easily bear their limitations and, even when it admits, it transcends them; it lives in an experience which to the formal religious mind is unintelligible.

Die Lucifer
Die Lucifer die
Your days on earth are ended
My people are now educated
You deceive, you lie
You propel my people to do evil
Against their own people.
But now we know, now we say
Go the other way;
No good ever come from your way.
