Library of cultural knowledge
Orally transferred from generation to generation
Recycling both fact and fiction interwoven
Enveloping a people with their blanket of tradition

Solve (an acrostic poem)
So many questions that need answers found
Only each of those answers spawn more crunchy questions
Leaving the circle of knowledge ever turning
Valuable as that cycle is, sometimes you just want to find an end
Especially when it come to taking an exam
Wonder (an acrostic poem)
Watch the way the world unfolds around you.
One thing leading to another in a vast circle of reality.
Notice how each piece is interlinked with so many other pieces.
Down to the knowledge that a star had to die to create the matter that makes you.
Ever sit there and just contemplate all that?
Realize that that feeling of awe is as normal as breathing, that you are a …
Grade (an acrostic poem)

Giving worth to mastery of knowledge
Receiving a letter to honor that feat
Allows the recipient to show others their level of competence of the subject
Despite lack of proof otherwise
Expecting you to accept their expertise
Replaced (an acrostic poem)
Reading through the want ads looking for something to do.
Everyone wanted experience, and I haven’t done the time.
Perhaps in the past I would have lied and tried my best.
Learning what I could before I was given my parole.
And applying that knowledge to the next economic sentence.
Can’t believe no matter where I go, there I would chains waiting.
Eventually the robots will come and take all of it away.
Destroying our way of life and setting us free, but to do what?
Power (an acrostic poem)
Punish the oppressed
Obliterate all knowledge of their humanity
We can blame them for the problems they have
Even if we were the ones who perpetuated them
Really it as simple of an abuse as that
Library (an acrostic poem)
Legions of words were peppered among the many shelves
It left the heady scent of knowledge permeating the air
Bracing herself, she picked up the first tome she saw
Reading the contents left her hungry for more
And so she consumed another, and then another. She kept going
Ravaging the stacks, never feeling sated
Yet the feast did not disappoint

Degree (an acrostic poem)
Diplomas carry so much weight for mere pieces of paper
Everything that goes into them distilled into a few words
Giving the holder the opportunity to advertise themselves
Revealing their skills and knowledge
Experiences woven into the very fibers
Education immortalized in the transient

Pack (an acrostic poem)
Put everything into your suitcase known as life
And don’t leave anything behind. Cram it inside.
Can’t take it with you? Sure you can.
Knowledge and experiences are the best luggage ever.

Thick (an acrostic poem)
The breadth of her knowledge was tremendous, but
How could she not know something as simple and basic as this?
I approached her, my evidence in hand
Capturing her attention, I began to lay out my arguments
Kept at it even when I realized maybe I had done something stupid
