Preachers and teachers
Liars and fools
Teach nonsense like answers
Arming scholars with tools
To later teach children
Much the same nonsense rules
Who grow to teach scholars
To be liars and fools

A bittersweet paradox, wrapped inside life's twisted ironies.  A reminder to all how valuable our future is for our younger generations.  Well penned as usual Darkling Moth!

Bravo Jason,
this is an insightful look at the state of educational affairs in general
though I'm not much of a scholar
I am quite a fool..... no lie

I enjoyed this poem and look forward to reading more of your work.

Dropped in for a short visit. (Smiles) A very entertaining read and most ironic also. I love your rhyming here. Good job.
