hypocrisy flourishes
deep within the roots
of our most revered
and respected institutions,
as business schools
teach bottom-line applications
and fast-track implications
to minds that live and
and dwell upon text
messages sent from a
possible promiscuous partner;
cap and gown
tenured faculty strut
their liberal arts of
conservative values
down the hallway of
abandoned dorms not
realizing or fully comprehending
a suitcase college point-of-view,
yet fill-in-the-blank questions
tests the merits of success;
and, while some favor
the soft-spoken monotone,
others respond well to
athletic humiliation but
no lessons learned when
the grade is pass-fail;
the roots of knowledge
presuppose some will
always know better than others
when they simply memorize;
hypocrisy flourishes
as historians repeat the failures
of articulated ignorance,
leaving the rest of us
wondering why we should
care at all since we actually
believe that our real
lives begin with death
not with education.
