What takes perhaps
Momentary lapses of time
To learn, adopt and
Make one's own-
Takes an aeon or beyond
To unlearn-
If at all it can be.
Most especially if one carries
The habit, the memory,
The potential
Deep within the cell memory-
Coursing in the vein;
Tunnelled through the
Umbilical cord-
Aeons, generations down.
Learning has always been easy.
And Unlearning just that, the greatest challenge.
Ever.
