Learned man

No matter what
your teacher taught
The important thing
is what you learned

Blaming shortcomings
in what you were taught
is just an excuse
deferring learning

This has very little
to do with them
and everything to do
with who you wish to be

To be truly free
you need
to be Learned
not taught

But freedom is hard
Easy means concession
Greed is not collecting
it is oppression

My teaching is a wish
for someone else
to be Learned
and wish on their own

Wisdom! I stayed ignorant far too long, accepting the surface and not looking underneath. I was taught, yes, accepted what was given me but failed to look underneath the cloak.
