Knowledge and Isolation

The remainder of the class trickles in

As he speaks of the Battle of Bunker Hill.

The knowledge which fills a man’s head

Never seems to suffice for the emptiness which fills his heart.

 

He lectures and works the class

Of which consists those a quarter of his age.

Who is this inattentive generation,

He is attempting to appease?

 

I take note, not of history,

But the measure to which this buffoon

Is willing to go

For an attempt at making it.

 

Is he out for the education

Of a directionless generation?

No, he’s using them as a means

To boost his egotistical, self esteem.
