ACADEMIA...

Life, a complex puzzle of choice

Issues, factors reasons

Please discuss, please explain

Mask your real opinion

It has become irrelevant

Display facts not emotions

Hide your true self

You’re an academic now

You no longer have your own voice

The puzzle of life in its complexity

The pieces don’t always fit

Go left, go right, go up or down

Inside or out

Just don’t show your true feelings

Who determines our destiny?

Now that our voices are stilled?

Who will stand up and speak?

Neither I nor we

It is no longer our place

To speak with fervour and vehemence

Or passion

All feelings are to be shelved

All opinions don’t matter

No longer one voice

One heart

We have become the nation of the facts.
