As Far As I Know
December 8, 2011
You will teach with textbooks
Your eyes may not wander
And inferiors must be obedient
But only breathing in
Makes your insides
Burn hotter! And
The light of all mankind
Is extinguished with eyes closed.
So why should I listen?
Who made you the King,
And I the pawn?
You condemn crimes of
Laughter, curiosity, self expression!
Without which, what good
Is in the world?
The universe is our
Schoolroom. Nobody
Can teach anyone better.
All we need is sky
To rough up the mind.
