When I was young
they told me to trust my teachers
for what they said was wise, knowledgable, and true
We are now playing a different game
If I trusted each word
that was so eloquently
inserted into my mind
here
I would lose myself
I live on a battleground where
flowers equal sex
and
Freud equals wise
Sex, sex, and sex are the subject matter today
"We haven't discussed what going on with sex.
It woudn't be a lit. class if I didn't write
sex
on the board,
huh?"
perhaps tomorrow my ears will be graced
with lessons on
"The Christian creation myth"
and factors which argue that the
"mystical traditions of Christianity and Buddhism
are teaching the same things"
"Aren't all humans actually werewolves?"
Dr. T asks, intending to pose a rhetorical question
The class stares, possibly buying into him
as I promtly break the silence with a vehement
"No."
Question after question
word after word
of falsehood
"Is beauty something different from evolution?"
"I know we are all just machines,
and I hate that
because I like the idea of being
completely
and
utterly
in
control."
I live on a battleground
where spritual warfare is waging like
this is its home
and discernment is my prayer
with every classroom that I enter.
For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths. But as for you, be serious about everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
II Timothy 4:3-5
