What happened to innovation?

by Keg - Leo

Gone are the days 
when the under grads 
lived in a golden haze
When ideas were errupting out of the volcano of passion
for discovery 
research
and the challenge to the status quo
Study, the true face of education
Thought, the true nature of innovation
Gone

Here are the days
where under grads
fit into restricted ways
Ideas are gone, its no more fun, just a mechanical drone
for bureaucrcay
league tables
and the renovation of the status quo
Competition, the new face of education
Exams, the destroyer of innovation
here

What happened to innovation?
