Brilliant! Keep questioning conventional knowledge...
recognizing no authority with greater esteem than your own mental process, simply because, someones TOLD you so!
Love it, love it, love it!

A lot of emotion went into this Write, thank you for sharing it. I also enjoyed the flow and I understand your anger all to well. Good Poem!

You speak for all of us when you speak about 'The institution.' Anyone -- a poet -- an artist -- someone who just doesn't fit into the Mold -- feels as you do: distrustful, cynical, suspicious of ulterior motive when someone offers you something good for free. BUT. There are times when our doubt, our distrust of persons, our 'shaped minds' -- misguide us. For there is generosity of a Real kind. You know how i know? I have seen it in you. You give your words for free -- and, sir, much much more. Behold.
