EXPERIENCE IS A HEARTLESS TEACHER

Experience is the best teacher.
But its lessons are served on a hot plate,
With no cooler to ease the pain that emerges.

Experience is a dedicated teacher,
But its strictness knows no bounds,
Totally devoid of mercy.

Experience is a teacher that designs a path,
And clears the way for its students,
But its methods are ruthless and deadly.

Experience is a consistent teacher,
But its impatience is devastating,
Hardly giving us room to learn slowly.

Experience is our permanent teacher,
And its lessons are unending, sometimes overwhelming.
Only the dead are free from its clutches.

Experience is a heartless teacher,
And we have all witnessed its lack of empathy.
It's just an entity that doesn't mind us burning in a fire of crisis.
As much as it's an ally, it's also humanity's dreaded enemy.
