though the reaction is of my own invention.
You see, long ago I built a wall,
a defense mechanism as I recall.”

The key to upliftment lies in literacy

From home to school to university

Mastering the ABC and one, two, three

Improves the world for everybody

Whether its old skills you’re updating

Or brand new ones you’re downloading

Being passionate about learning

Can boost your potential earning

By learning every letter

Life can only get better

So connect those dots

And keep on growing"
