It wanted to purify rest by eclipsing the pleasant,
It bestowed to the legacies w/ shabby credence;
It gave the 'title' of knowledgeable to undeserving,
It took away the soul from knowledgeable sheath!
It couldn’t choose between what’s right or wrong,It couldn’t choose b/w two right or which is strong;
It became the achilles heels in its own evolution,
It forged such who fire gun via on else’s shoulders.
It is no more rooted but being uprooted from soil,
It remains unchanged despite sown million times;
It is less academic, & more pandemic, in its voice,
It is the modern day Academia sans any choice! 😊
