The Flawed Academic

When our work should free the world
It becomes the most self serving

When we need to be soft spoken
Our voices fill with pride

When our work should calm the seas
It becomes its most unnerving

When we need to jump and risk it all
We often run and hide

Our words should be considerate
Yet we taint them with a cynical dose

When we should reach out to help the world
We make ourselves defensive

And when we should be brief and pithy
We find ourselves at our most verbose

When our work should fix and mend
We become the most offensive
