Look at the dark board, hung up on the wall; <br />Many have learnt by its use, but not without white strokes <br />Left on its face. Where you'd attempt to cleanse it <br />From the characters upon it, it looks uglier and muddy. <br /> <br />Look at our earth, where it was richly green; <br />It seemed it needs not cultivation, but didactic bruteness.<br /><br />Igwe Kalu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vi-look-at-our-earth/
