Enlightenment & Education

Enlightenment
Cannot be taught;
It can only be acquired
Through personal endeavor.

You won’t learn it
In schools or travels
Or in readings or arts
Or in places of worship.

Enlightenment is not education;
It’s an epiphany that only comes
To those fearlessly independent souls
Who burnish their free-willed minds
With painfully discovered truths
Unmindful of nation or religion
Or of group or family.
