I’VE WITNESSED
The Acts, Actions
And antics.
Monuments to accomplishments,
Efforts destroyed.
Murders of Bodies
And reputations.
The hazing of the naïve,
Innocence contaminated.
Lessons learned
But wisdom refused.
Experiences recorded,
Narcissism defining freedom
Ignorance preferred.
Diseases cured.
All that we have been and have become
While attending,
Imprisoned in this school called life;
Whose walls are made of time.
What will begin forever,
When we graduate
Even though failed;
No longer tethered by time?
ETERNITY

I love the lines:
Lessons learned
But wisdom refused.
Experiences recorded,
Narcissism defining freedom
Ignorance preferred.
You have captured beautifully a lot about life and humanity.
