Higher Grammatical Complexity
Grammatical complexity the young must have,
To coexist with their immortality.
The young nimble mind, the mind that swells as
Would a wave that crashes upon your rocky shore.
Teach them no profanity, teach them well, give unto them
Your religious book to learn from and dwell not on belief's.
A dictionary and encouragement, discipline and self control,
And do not show
