Wither education in AI aided

market economy times

The school bell rings, a market call,

For skills and tools to serve them all.

Not wisdom's path, or heart's desire,

But gains' need, as markets aspire.

The campus hums, a corporate drone,

Market worth's measured, neatly shown,

By credits earned, what you produced,

A cog that spins, in endless use.

AI gleams, a tempting prize,

A shortcut sold, before our eyes.

With data quick, and tasks complete,

Another rung, for those elite.

They build machines, soul they bind

Spirituality used to package mind,

A curated calm, a hollow grace,

To keep us working, in our place.
