By: Mickie Mae D. Ragasa
Has an Ithaca to learn
A desire; a yearn
However gazing upon books
Causes people to look
Education is a right
Yet opportunity never comes to sight
Born without enough privilege
Lives avoiding any scrimmage
Was kept complacent by stares that insists
he grew up an Icarus
A student he wished to be
Stayed a dream in his reality
