Raised on rubrics and TV
Lacking criticality
Twelve years in the thoughtless tank
Now indebted to the bank
Living far away from home
Free the day and night to roam
Enter Schools of Dialogue
Where within an ivied bog
In lilly padded classroom cells
Logic’s charmed by sweetened spells
Of teachers drawing out opinions
Each within their own dominions
Deconstructing what is left
Trading thought for thoughtlessness
Of idols under covered
Broken knowledge rediscovered
Chipping off a meme or two
Trading totem for taboo
With group hug epidural
Economists will paint a mural
Artists sit in quilt-less bees
As mediums to shoot the breeze
Linguists alter words and texts
Where relevance is so annexed
Knowledge sold for dreaming
Midst choral primal screaming
Psychologists will legislate
What to love and who to hate
As science builds some chemical
To full assure the good of all
Improving thought’s restraint
Internalized recalcitrant
New improved materials
To sprinkle on our cereals
