"Dont be a fool, Go to School" Said
the teacher to the pupil, Your
paper of wisdom I do not wish to see, This

cannot fight the world my child, Said
the pupil in his mind, How
can you deny reality? Is my

teacher shrugs and reaches forth, This
child is mentally disturbed. the
cause we do not wish to examine,
