From a far-off place,
from books,
languages, articles, movies, and art,
from diseases,
famine,
from wars and deaths,
from intolerance and racism,
riots and hate,
and from a far-off place,
history calls to us from civilisations nearly destroyed,
and from the angry,
the frustrated and the annoyed,
and from learning,
what is learning if only to be forgotten,
if learning is to be unemployed?
