Pleasure of Words

You, a butterfly's flutter grazing a withered heart; Petrichor of the rain on a parched land; a shining star in the gloomy dark sky Unseen and unknown I had plunged, into misery's chasm gobbling life's filth Wilting petals of my existence spring to life as you whisper the secrets of love my passions rise, in your kind killing, my angers   douse in your sweet embrace You, my hope's last dyke my desire's last refuge my angst's last solace My heart squeezes into yours, caress it in your tender arms  and render relief Peace...

As Light falls, and Darkness diffuses into nightly space, I have not -   a home to go; a heart to caress; or a Soul to Mind But,I have a poem to write; a canvas to paint; a glass to fill; a song to sing; and   a dream to nurture I free the longing words; throw the chaotic colours; sing in wilderness; raise the glass Of sour fluid to Night's glory; meditating on my Dreams In distorted dizziness, yielding to vices, I wander, in loneliness, singing the song of Solitude

The use of preposition ‘of’ instead of ‘for’, and th e   use  of definite article ‘The’ ,  symbolizes the pedagogy –its  dialoging nature – and qualifies the oppressed as unique . In the first chapter, Freire delves into the dynamics of oppression and what constitutes true liberation. In the second chapter, the focus is on how education operates in the banking mode while blunting the ability to think and hence perpetuating and sustaining oppression. In the third chapter, the nature of problem posing education, through dialoging on themes generated by the oppressed, is explained. In the last chapter, how dialogism leads to liberation and anti-dialogism leads to oppression is detailed   1. In support o f  the Pedagogy of the Oppressed    A commonplace argument is that there is no oppression, but one is oppressed because he is lazy and lacks any m otivation to work his way out.  Some attribute oppression to fate, but ...
