Education is the key ........

Education is the key
Come on, roll up, come and see
All the wonders of the universe displayed
And precepts of truth and lies conveyed,
To hungry and not so hungry empty minds
Forge and condition, impose those chains that bind,
And fill them up to bursting and then
Pour on more concepts and fill them again.
Smile, and say how well it all goes
After all you're the one that knows.

And if you have time, to ponder awhile
And search beneath that welcoming smile
And if you have courage and heart and eyes to see
And if you believe when you look. Are you free?
Maybe, but where have all your wanderings gone
Your images, imagination and youthful fantasy song.
And what of your innocence, never noticed before
Discarded by the wayside, remembered no more.
Until the time when you need it most
Then it's too late. Education, at times an empty boast.
