Instant recognition of the fount of knowledge
the institutes of higher learning every advanced
society venerates as an institution whose purpose
is to inject the excitement of knowing the value
of acquiring an education geared to producing
the leaders, scientists and artists propelling nations
toward renown by the industry of their creative
minds whose curiosity has been piqued and
staunched in the fulfillment of an aspirational goal
philosophically apolitical, delving into nature's
storehouse of possibilities. Until it no longer was
and became a hothouse of ideological sparks
scorching the search for knowledge in favour
of stirring the embers of racial resentment where
a universal enemy was named and shamed and
rational judgement was spurned in favour of
launching accusations of genocide against the
the sole nation ever to have been genocide's
victim. Aspiring scholars disciplined to their
search for truth and justice demur at risk of a
calamitous label of racist Islamophobia, their
place in the great halls of learning disputed
should they defend truth against slander while
the cowering majority become as one with the
usurpers of knowledge proclaiming victory.
