Goode Guy Poet Quatrain

The Pedantic Verses

you must be carefully taught
all aspects of the universe
complete and utterly covered
in a tome of spiritual verse

you must be carefully taught
who you must hate and who to love
has all been handed down from
commandments from somewhere above

you must be carefully taught
strict adherence to beliefs of past
you must be careful of thought
keep to your clan and your caste

you must be carefully taught
and not question line in case
saints and prophets distraught
banish life itself in disgrace

you've got to be carefully taught
there's no point except the knife
to waiver from those said anointed 
to guarantee some eternal life

you must be carefully taught
you've got to be carefully taught
you'll get tied up in a French knot
you've got to be careful - a lot
