Students and Books
Tri Budhi Sastrio
According to FB there are three kinds of books.
Books to be tasted, books to be swallowed
And books to be chewed and digested.
They are different in quality indeed but
they are still books.
Students need them badly not only because
They are the quietest and the most constant friend
But also because they are the most accessible and the wisest counselor.
They are also the most patient teacher in the world.
That's what Charles W. Eliot says
In The Durable Satisfactions of Life. So let's
Praise the books, students, praise the scrolls!
Grab them, read them, let them be your pharos
In sailing the sea of codex, in plodding the sphere of rolls.
There is nothing wrong to be sunk in great books!

If the tittle of this poem submitted to the AIPG then the following poem comes to the light:
Oh, the students, so bright and so bold,
Their minds filled with knowledge, their souls full of gold.
They spend their days poring over books, so wise and so old,
Their thirst for learning, never to be told.
Their backpacks heavy with tomes so grand,
Their hearts filled with dreams, their minds filled with plans.
They read of great deeds, of adventures so fine,
Their imaginations, set to shine.
Their eyes, aglow with the magic of words,
Their minds, aflame with the passion of birds.
They devour the pages, hungry for more,
Their love of learning, forever in store.
Their books, their friends, their constant guide,
Their minds, a canvas, their thoughts, a tide.
They delve into the depths of the page,
Their knowledge, a journey, their hearts, a stage.
