The more you know, the less you want to know.

When teachers can't spell,
punctuate, do mental arithmetic,
tell you anything about Kepler,
the Black Death, octopi,
the Danzig Corridor
or Wallis and Futuna,

can't tell the difference between
centre and epicentre, riffle and rifle,
tend and attend,
alternative and alternate,
don't realise that a quantum
is very small and not very large,

you know that the costly
'Education System' is
no such thing,
just 10-year holding-pens
to keep us all infantile
and inextricably linked
to junk-filled mindlessness.
