He’s a real world academic

The man by the Master’s side.

Snide for all the faults in the world

Vowed to save all the boys and girls.

Do violets give thanks for their rain and sun?

Then Nothing is telling the Son of what I have to begun.

The worker will program

The defeated computer

Manufacturing is nomadic

After Krishna’s magic tricks:

– incarnate, Avatar, yogi, boss-level and the way of Fu Manchu

Rebirth is Grace

Not Birmingham University.

Destroying the social order

Nice try

Trumps! Worldly Wise Bush and admiralty Barracks!

Hashtag you’re not it

The Guru passed you by

Om.



AI Summary

The poem confronts false authority — academics, gurus, leaders, and institutions that claim mastery but fail to offer real salvation. It contrasts divine rebirth, grace, and mythic lineage with the mundane failures of universities, politics, and social order. The speaker wrestles with the gap between spiritual promise and worldly pretence, searching for a path untouched by ego or hierarchy. In the end, it becomes a gesture toward authentic guidance — a recognition that true transformation comes from within, not from those who “passed you by.”
