We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom,
But a college education itself is useless,
Parents and students themselves are acting on these principles,
Literature nurtures a richer emotional intelligence,
Retreating from the humanities,
Students assume the role of historians,
What is it about an "Empire,"
Yet the solution of some folks is to disdain wisdom,
The roots of the genocide lie in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Empire, information, starving, useless,
Our happiness depends upon our interactions with those around us,
