This imperatively imparted knowledge
This so-called apparent benefit to the scholarly mind
-to a decent life
This invisible influence on material happiness
Golden joy and glittering pleasure
Rotting unsightly ignorance
Dissolving selfless features
It’s praised
Its outline is a bloated, immobile casing
An existence comparable to the queen termite
A being which must be drug from cranny to cranny
To escape just intentions
It feeds and grows and collects its worshipers
Disguises its godless, misshapen expression
As an all-powerful, all-natural science
As if the Lord created coins on the 8th day
And debt for the “selfless sinners” on the 9th
The air not quite inhalable by all
The punishment impending when you fall
The mortar which creates the isolating wall
On one side is a debtor’s jail
Where all good men go when they fail
