Hi keimosobie
I enjoyed your poem. Good timing with kids heading back to school and college next week. I think we'd all like to be ships at sea with a definite course, compass, and steering wheel.
But so many of us need direction. We are going around in circles, like a dog chasing his tail. The secret is in learning.

Thank you for the great review and i agree learning is the key.

I like how the ending questions education. What I took from this poem is the questoin are we taught to be our own individual self, or to be just another part of the crowd, of the mould? For me, that made this poem great to read.

No problem. I agree with this poem wholeheartedly and the challenge it offers to society.
Comment from BethShelby
Your poem has a lot of truth in it. In college, I think we are taught to think like our teacher's think when we really need to be taught to think for ourselves.
Then I will think,
so more.
Did you mean to say "so more" or "no more" or "some more"?
It sounds a little off.

This is a very interesting piece that kind of goes back and forth. I like your wording and how you've painted a picture of someone who doesn't know exactly where they are.
