Once upon a time there were some clever soldiers
They were so well educated it was a delight
When the commanders gave the order to kill
They asked for the reason why they had to fight

“This will not do”, said the top of the pyramid brass
So they reasoned that civilians be dumbed-down
They had an empire to build, people to kill
They require unthinking robots to invade a town

“Start with the children, offer free education”
They were a wolf in sheep’s clothing alright
So they introduced the outcome teaching method
Where they grind your will in a twelve-year long fight

The further you go into their biased dialectic
The more you don’t know your arse from your elbow
When you control both sides of the argument
The bitter truth will always be over the rainbow

There are steps to perceiving, thinking and acting
Knowledge of how we can teach ourselves
Once we learn the trivium and quadrivium
We can choose which books to take off the shelves

If we are going to evolve it requires effort
Or at least giving our children the hidden tools
Maybe our brains have been numbed too much
Do we really need any more media fools?

I wish I had the capability to read a book
But I have the concentration levels of a gnat

I can’t think how bad the X generations are
They don’t even know fast food makes you fat

The way we are controlled follows the caste system
Eighty-seven per cent of us are viewed as a useless eater
Let me tell them something, I can eat pretty well
They do have one up on me though, being an expert cheater

The beauty of the power of now to which I subscribe
Is that this information is now available to the chattle
All they have to do is read ten mind expanding books
If they can stop long enough playing with their rattle

Cheers!
