Educated for the lesser good

We see many young people with education, degrees, with letters behind their names. 

From great, world renowned, acclaimed universities and colleges ranked high in the stratosphere. 

Is our education system effective?

Are we at all sure our students were educated for the greater good?

Or did we only made people good only for themselves?

Did we produce people who could succeed and flourish, but deprive and impoverish the others?

Did we produce hordes of educated, highly intelligent people who could change the world but only for worse?

Did we impart  them the abilities to exploit all the earth's splendor yet not conserve any?

Did we teach them to acquire, to consume but not how to care ?

Did we teach them to use & to discard but not to share?

Did we teach them to succeed but not to help?

Did we teach them to think but not be considerate?

Did we teach them to aim high yet not forsake the lowly?

Did the system produce citizens who think only of oneself and not as one?

Did we teach them God but not awareness that His kingdom is for All?
Did we teach them in anyway that everyone has a share of this wonderful earth, that it belongs to all no matter how lowly their station, no matter how weak their forces, no matter how few their numbers and no matter how colored their skin?
Did we teach them none is higher than the other?


Did we teach them anything?
