All Of It Is Educational Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

All Of It Is Educational



If education had been a priority,
Its connection to greatness...
Would not have been an elective,
For the selective chosen few to possess.

If education had been a priority,
The providing of it...
Would have been more collective.
Without those costly decisions made,
To leave behind many subjected...
And left to think of themselves as fools.
Like those who have proven to be incompetent.
With abilities to deceive.

If education had been a priority,
Its connection to greatness...
Would not have been an elective,
For the selective chosen few to possess.

And a greatness declared,
Through one's ability to produce weaponry...
Isn't greatness.
That's the height of evil stupidity.
Eventually used to attack its producer.

'Like that mad scientist obsessed,
Who exhumed bodies...
To design his own human beings.
He alone would command their dependency.
But his first and only creation turned on him.
What was his name? '

Frankenstein.

'Are you sure? '

Not really.
So many have been running for political office.

'You refer to Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.'

Does it really matter when all of them are monsters?

'Yes it does.
Because all of it is educational.
All of it.'
