A poem by Franz Ludescher

There is one barrier called logical
“It doesn’t make sense”
So it is pedagogical
To get rid of the suspense.

“I’m too old to learn something new”
Might someone say
This sentence might be a clue
This barrier is on the way.

I you are convinced of something even if it’s wrong
This barrier is probably quite strong.

There is a barrier called emotional
Which affects your attitude
It is not very promotional
It prevents your gratitude.

“I don’t like it”
“It’s a waste of time”
“I’d rather quit”
“It’s not the prime.”

If the affective filter is quite strong
It’s hard to get along.

The third barrier is called ethical.
It is part of your inner beliefs
You tend to be very sceptical
Your heart is full of griefs.

“It’s against my conviction”
“My manners say no”
It is part of your restriction
Your learning is slow.

The ethical barrier is very strong
For the opposite you long.

These barriers are in your inner set-up
They are part of your behaviour
So desuggest them and get up
And you will feel much safer.

So means of desuggestion help you
to get into the inner set-up
These ideas are not new
So let’s have a check-up.

The following lines tell you in detail
Means of dessugestion which we inhale.

Authority and respect
For the student and the teacher
Has an enormous effect
Sympathy for every creature.

Respect in terms of knowledge
But also personality
Should be shown at any college
Should be part of your mentality.

Authority in a positive way
Should be more than just a play.

Infantilization is another means
The attitude children are in
Curiosity is part of your genes
Willing to learn within.

We are allowed to make mistakes
Often through trial and error
