SCHOOL OUT



Taught not to learn
Only to studiously rehearse what you are told to study
That which is easily accessible is the many lies that are magnified
Now you are directed by what is printed in great volume
On the whole bereft of individual thought
Which you may never notice
Where true knowledge is concerned, it is only ever released in small print
Now the blinded and dumbed down have been visibly muted by the magnetic pull of empty words
Where as veracities magnitude is so magnificent and magnanimous
Now been negated
Facts should be protected to the maximum, largely mothered
It is the lies that should be smothered before given berth
At minimum not to reach farther
The single apparent
Beware of what you have perused
If not, then the path you have pursued
Most likely a trail dishonestly usurped
