Priceless Knowledge

Poverty is not a hindrance,
In having education and its importance;
Good and bad things must have balance,
So, be strong and have reliance.

Education is also for poor,
Learning schools should open their door;
Teach them to learn more,
To move forward and across the core.

Books and magazines are some of our sources
Of information which help different courses;
Also these can be the great forces,
To prevent our minds from acquiring lapses.

We should know the importance of literacy,
And should not be considered as fallacy;
It can develop our intimacy
To others and share our competency.

The world would many times rotate on its axis,
But still, my mind suffered from a "catharsis".
