Education

The greatest hope for all humanity
Encapsulates the paths of peace
By means of education –
The weapon that will then release
A change upon this world
To build it up lest it rescind
And open minds to fine enquiry
With hearts to then chase fairer winds

Education that will surely tackle
Inequality and disease
Promoting a common good
With understanding that will please
Seeking information
That will ask how to question more
That will critically evaluate
And will open not close the door

Education to be the key tool kit
In preparation of life ahead
An interchange of knowledge
To give out more than daily bread
To inspire and spur on
To prosper, grow and to progress
Education upholding hope and peace
Reconciling more not less!

From Nelson Mandela’s famous maxim “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
