LEARNING IS ENDLESS.

LEARNING IS ENDLESS.

If the teacher teaches
A is for Author
B is for Book
C is for Creativity...
P is for Poetry
I will magnify my lens to absorb
And glean the poetic lines
And deposit same into
My knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the maths tutor should
Plot the graph to derive the
Parabolic equation, I will stand at
Angle 180° to transpose it to poetic matrix
Then glean and deposit same
Into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If a mad person should soliloquize
And chants some poetic verses
I will listen carefully to glean some
Lines and deposit same into
My knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the drunk, mocked by wine
Should bubble, babble…rattle
I will extend my receptacle to glean
Some poetic verses and deposit same
Into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the bird at my window sill
Should sing and chants some
New day songs, I will be attentive
To glean some lyrical poetry and deposit
Same into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the new born babe should
Smile at me; mumble and rattle
Some inaudible verses, I will glean
And transmit them into a higher frequency
Of audible vocabulary and deposit same
Into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the chief priest should pour
Libations and chants some poetic
Tribute of praise to the gods, I will
Translocate my eardrums and
Eavesdrop to glean some lines and
Deposit same into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the preacher should chants
Some Psalmody and Song of Songs
I will fix my gaze on the Word, to glean
Some poetic verses and deposit same
Into my knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

If the African elder should clear
His throat and chants some Proverbs
And idioms, I will prostrate at his feet
To receive his blessings and the spirit
Of knowledge, to do greater works
And all these shall be deposited into
My knowledge bank,
Learning is endless

Even this poem, is endless…
Its tentacles, boundless
Its resonance, matchless.
