Founding Dream Third Generation Sold Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

once a founder had a sincere dream vision
personally his daughter welcomed all new staff
personally supervised their welcome orientation

once a founder believed in education
believed in every student's potential
believed in their destiny to enrich society

in time this founding father died
in time his daughter's legacy also died
descendents carved dream into profit maximum

once there were standards of acceptable entry
a real education no final grade falsification
no smoke screen hall mirrors fiddle deception

earlier students school is pathetic nowadays stated think
quality of students is not the same policy exhibits weak link
they're just crazy for money founder's policy reaps less honey
