David Mchattie Poet Rhyme

The Poor Urchins

A word of caution... the alarm bell sounds,
        you will hear no absent cheering.
But be aware... some people care
        to flaunt social engineering.
The missions clear... their goals are set
        to brainwash every child.
Telling them what to drink and what to think
        with no urchins running wild.

The schools are controlled by those who know
        and they follow it to the letter.
No chips, no pop, no tater tots,
        all banned to make them better.
They think they know and well aware
        to be a child's savior.
To quash the evil... seems a tad medieval
        to change their bad behavior.

There are cameras there and video
        to watch the children move.
The child might flunk if they show some *****
        and the teachers don't approve.
No spanking now or discipline 
        to put away their fight.
When the child's bad... don't make him sad,
        just buy the kid a bike.

Kids need their space... a few dark spots
        to call their very own.
To make their mark... to find that spark
        before their dreams have flown.
So stop your meddling... forget your madness,
       because I've got a hunch.
You will find... our greatest minds
       were raised on Cap'n Crunch.
          
                     The End

Caren Krutsinger April 2, 2019 at 5:33 AM Ah, this is why I think some people choose to home-school their children. "The missions clear, their goals are set, to brainwash every child. Telling them what to drink, and what to think, no urchins running wild." Nice one! David Mchattie April 2, 2019 at 12:57 PM Schools teach what to think, when they should be teaching, how to think.
