Like herds they marched
Across the hall
Dressed in uniforms
They sat
Locked their eyes
With looks of mistrust
Not knowing the outcome
Eat them alive
They talked
Wisdom
Captives
But they possessed free souls
Tranquility of the heart
The serene joy of a mind at ease
They were scholars of life
They were
Encyclopedia plus dictionary talking
And the heart and soul of a scholarly written book
They gave
my life a new meaning
a stronger purpose
hope to prevail against all obstacles
and most of all the patience to understand the seeds of patience reap sweeter fruits
Living a life with a real cause
a heart to rebel
and all thanks to He who has created me and them
Alhamdulilah
