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
