The Dangerous Pedantic, Etc. Poem by Gregory Huyette

Each day is much more pedantic,
As this fraudulent world becomes frantic
With the didactic and doctrinaire
So much so that they dictate what’s fair.

Informed citizenry must take reigns
From misguided, self righteous brains
Who fool no one but themselves
As their books die unread on shelves.

Have fear that these ignorants here
Are those who will only cheer
When each intention and selfish concern
Is satisfied even as sidewalks burn.

Vision and strategy must prevail
As priorities overwhelm mundane detail.
The world really has no other choice.
The future ill affords more erudite voice.
