Will I qualify for the title of Academic Terrorist bestowed upon me long ago?

Life is a unprofitable episode that disturbs an otherwise blessed state of nonexistence:
Who said this?... Nietzsche or perhaps Schopenhauer
I am not sure,my memory is weak
Be that as it may,
In the interlude I would like to remain as an
Academic Rebel and be helpful to the downtrodden
by voicing their cumulative frustration with the 
Corrupt insensitive rulers for ages
The incompetent rulers who are not even worth
a plateful of cabbages

Being faithful to my profession and the world of 
Academics, the right ones who championed the 
Cause of the weak and the poor and 
helpful to all protest movements 
I will qualify for the title
Academic Terrorist on the campus.

Keynes and Marx, Thiruvalluvar and Thirumoolar
Will give  strength and purpose to my existence
And make my life meaningful....

At Adelaide I  again wrote about the woes and the heartbeat of 
Agitating farmers... today I am happy that their collective will has made the aggressive ruler to kneel down.A nonviolent struggle will have Focus and also purpose.
By quirk of fate I found out the old poem today)
