Real Men ! (Satire)

We do not send our sons to college
to become followers of the Buddha,                        
or to seek any ancient,  spiritual path
that might lead them to themselves,
we prefer their windy, notions  of God
up there in the air somewhere,
so they can get on with the business
of cleaning up our mess down here !
They have no time for contemplation
or what is called, true meditation,
enlightenment is for wimps !
Not real men  or chimps !
