Disconnected Teachings

Those who would rid our schools curriculum 
Of Kipling n' Tennyson, 
Are damned and stupid thieves 
Robbing theirselves and their charges 
Of, the poetry and history, that 
History does contain. 

And with it goes, the wisdom of ages 
Beyond reason, 
Undreamt of, in a present devoid 
Of, 
Curiosity and understanding.
