Defunct educational system
Three kindergarten kids
With pocket money
More than the teacher’s three month salary
Tease their sleeping teacher.
“Come on teacher,
Teach us some grammar and arithmetic
And we will give you
Bits of pocket our money
Then maybe you won’t always
Be so miserable.”
The teacher purrs softly
Unoffended by their noisy teasing
And when they persist
He raises his head and says
“Go teach your fathers
To change the government.”
