Favorite Quote:
"Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun..." Ecclesiastes 11:7


Eat your cereal, and eat it well.
Because it kick-starts the brain.
The more of it you eat,
The more of you we drain.
We stuff it down your throat,
But it’s up to you to digest.
We’ll encourage you to do so.
We’ll even help you: test. 
Don’t let the theories you’ve been taught
Sit in the bowl and get soggy.
Swallow them without thinking;
While they still taste yummy.
We’re all out of your milk of choice,
The one that’s labeled, “Proof;”
Just focus on the spoonfilled train.
Here it comes, “Chew, chew!”
Make it a happy bowl, and sup.
And whatever you do, don’t dare throw up.


The author's comments:

As a young students, many times we're pressured to accept theories, points of view, and public opinion as truthful fact, especially in school. We're not expected, nor encouraged to assert our intellects and question these things. My bucking of this notion inspired this piece.
