In this social awareness poem, Prasanna questions the validity of education sans values, exclusively for Different Truths.

I shun the education
that never tickles
the knowledge bugs 
to bite in reaction,
What’s the point of being
called as educated
when the one, who, acquired
the scholarships
indulge in gulping the blood
of the weak and helpless section,
I shun the education
that never nudges the man
to react during the suffering
of another man
What's the point of being
Called a highly intellectual person
when the one, who, hides himself
Within the four walls of chambers
holding distinct prerogatives,
Yet, not speak a word
against callous laws,
Those least fall into the ears 
of poor people of the Nation,
I shun the education
That gives ideas of snatching
the pious serenity of Nature,
in the name of rocket science,
What is the point of being
called as scientifically advanced
When the human quenches 
the thirst with bloody tears,
I shun the education
I shun the education
That never implants the feeling 
of humane perception.
