a sort of education

what we learn early is not always truth
our teachers will not let us all reply
nor give us all the honest reasons why

we are betrayed by the loudly uncouth
on many matters we cannot descry
what we learn early is not always truth

it is too easy to fool all the youth
the eager mind will swiftly grasp the lie
and then proclaim it loudly to the sky
what we learn early is not always truth
