The Deception, Perception And Reception Of Recidivists Poem by John Sensele

When education cheats kill on a horrid hill
Miseducation they distill and quality English away they peel
In crippled classes they promote
Education quality in several ways they demote

Inflicting on learners an illusion
To which deliberately mediocrity intrusion
Yields solecism
Coupled with pervasive paternalism

That nurtures odious audacity
Buttressed by hollow opacity
Inflicting on teachers an impossible task
Although to teachers kinky questions we ask

Knowing fully well big time they've messed up
Their strategic plans thrown and strewn in a crucifix cup
Where education a distressing death dies
When chores and throes combine in sick sties

Where standards fall by the wayside
Assessment instruments scale walls on a seamy side
Scheming to undermine best practices
That block clocks from intervening interstices

Thereby overwhelming composition markers
Waylaid by milestones set for truth trackers
Who block cheaters from diluting
Set standards in which truants saluting

Malpractices prance without shame
Concealing evidence in toilets they blame
For their failure
With evidence so cogently clear

Although cheats blame the messenger
For penalties which their futures encounter
When red handed they're caught
Having forgotten concepts in limpid lessons teachers taught

In spite of which cheats walk tall
Bothering not to conceal their shame in the stall
Where they conspire during summative assessment to cheat
Unrolling malpractice material waking up from below their feet.
