Begging for a Seat in School
Dr Abe V Rotor
A disturbing scene to Maslow -could he have been wrong?What is self-actualizationto the striving throng?
What's good is the Bastille trilogy -pillars of modern society:equality, fraternity,liberty - sans dignity?
Motherhood words may come easy;they cannot be mistaken,for the lips that speak of promiseare easily forgotten.
And the world goes on as it seems;a beggar boy, its conscience:lost youth, lost hope, lost futurein the midst of affluence.
The door is jarred to full viewand knocking wouldn't lend an ear;indifference makes man blindor takes him to the rear.
He who feels for the needywith nothing to give is a fool,in a world deaf to a poor boybegging for a seat in school. ~
NOTE: A student of mine from Iran at the UST Graduate School left this reproduction as a souvenir. The painting was made by an unknown artist, apparently belonging to the post classicism at the dawn of realism.
