If Only We Knew

"The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together." Eric Hoffer

IF ONLY WE KNEW

Imagine a perfect world

Where education was in fashion

People who cared to know

And knowing was their passion

Imagine families in discussions

Around the dinner table

Where ideas and ideals are topics

There was truth instead of fables

Imagine if the schools

Taught fact instead of fiction

Instead of indoctrination

Forced liberal addiction

Imagine how much pride there would be

And the lack of sheer frustration

If an educated society

Lifted up our failing nation

If only we all knew

How freeing it is to know

If only we could destroy the dams

And let our knowledge flow
