There's something
Going on
And it isn't
Very pretty

The teachers all look at them with the evil eye
The students all answer back with no reply
You should see.

You should see
What they're reading
From the bookshelves
Of the school

Printed pages
Speaking out
Against the
Golden Rule

Libraries overflowing with words of free thought
Volumes contradicting that which is taught

Xerox High spurting out child after child
Another cog produced for the rank and file

You should see
What they're teaching
Inside P.S.
USA

Some young
Programmers
Refuse to
Mold the clay

Fools in pursuit of individuality
Centuries of mass production lost in futility
You should see.
