dark ages renaissance…

the brown bag prophet
said
given
the current list
of
plagues
and
school board meetings
resembling
the spanish inquisition
i fully expect
that
we’ll soon
have
the great
teachers witch trials
complete
with
teachers
firmly tied
to
tetherball poles
surrounded
by
a stack
of burning
banned books
books
banned
for their
revealing the truth
about our
illustrious forefathers
you know
the ones
that massacred
native americans
and
enslaved others
for purely
selfish reasons
their own
financial gain
and
unfettered power
lord knows
we can’t have children
knowing the truth
such truths
might hurt
their mental status
making them
feel guilty
and
limiting
how many of them
that will be
willing
to commit
similiar crimes
in
the future
and
then
where would we be

 

 

 

 

reopening america’s schools…

small
and
insignificant child
you
will be
canonized
some day
as
you
and
your peers
those
unwitting martyrs
to
the cause
of
the global economy
go back
to
school
so
your
parents
can
go back
to work
your deaths
will be
for
the greater good
of
the profit margin
and
the president’s
re-election campaign
as well as
bolstering
his
ego
