A Blazing Beacon of Knowledge (StahliRomance's Education Poem)

In an expansive black sea of ignorance
Here lies a blazing beacon of knowledge
With inspiration under circumstance
There will always be a gap to abridge

It was us, the rational beings of Earth
Willing to learn anything since our birth
For our curiosities to attain satisfaction
There is what we call an education

Beliefs, ideals, standards, and mentalities
These are the profound effects of what we think
A pen and a book of assembled philosophies
To pass to our bloodlines with our verbal ink

Indeed, this isn’t done without pressures
To give us difficulties in acquiring our treasures
But, chances are of successes or of failures
And this can even guide us in our own futures
