A TEAR FOR ALMA MATER

in #hive-1745782 years ago

Forlorn tumbledown buildings now greet a wanderer to her abode
An abode that'd many a time made headlines in the past for raising geniuses,
Now rests desolate, in decay and with a lacklustre appearance
One can't but shed a tear for one's alma mater

How could they allow this to happen to one's beloved?
Why should she who'd raised many be made a forlorn landscape?
Who would have believed this would be her sorry end?
When all she ever did was contributing to the good of the land.

Like a mother she molded her products to become who they are today,
She gave them but the superlatives of her treasures to excel in life
The world outside mistakes them for a special breed from abroad
Not knowing that her hands made that happen here on their soil .

Now many that would've also gained what others had from her
For five months are at home, idle and frustrated with no hope in sight
This wasn't what she was conceived, created and nurtured to be
It hurts to see what's now become of a great Tower like her.

Hi @gmetuk77, I see you're new on Hive, so let me drop you a few suggestions to help you navigate better on our platform.

We have different communities on Hive and we're encouraging users to post in the right community based on the topic of the post. This post for example would fit better in Photography Lovers community, if you think the main focus is photography. Or we have a few writing communities you can use.

OCD is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.

Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide.

Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.

Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse! Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.

I appreciate this invaluable piece of advice. I hope to do better next time.

You are welcome @gmetuk77! It is great to see you are doing your first steps! Great work!

Thank you so much for your encouragement. A Tear for Alma Mater is my modest attempt to draw attention of everyone to the pathetic situation of Tertiary Institutions in my country using my alma mater as a case study.
