Raj Arumugam (1955 / INDIA)
ask no questions
ask no questions:
you must obey;
and if you ask questions
you must accept all answers
there’s a teacher
and authority;
the student must ask
no questions;
just listen and obey
there’s the Parent
and children will do good
to listen and nod in agreement
you must obey
it’s good for you
it’s good for the Instructor
there’s the Great Leader
who issues edicts and reforms;
it’s nice of you to be informed
to mark and conform
there’s God in Heaven
and He’s (never a She)
given you Text Books;
school is in – and you must obey,
no questions…
there are Organizations
and Establishments;
look, it’s comfy and easy
for everybody
if you just followed
the rules and regulations
and don’t think outside
the Book of Instructions
ask no questions:
you must obey;
and if you ask questions
you must accept all answers
