We’re teachers seeding pearls, you know... Doing some insemination, Planting bits of inspiration And watching pearls of wisdom grow But some pearls are poisoned Falling short of desired perfection It’s a hall of mirrors Showing wisdom’s twisted reflection Poison Pearls of wisdom, No matter how they come, They are the seeds, you see, That sprout into perfidy The Preachers’ congregation’s confused When trust, wife and children are abused... Sophistry, twisting logic to one’s own use, Fallacious reasoning turns into abuse, Sending women and children forth to die, Taking their own lives in a reign of terror, Dying only so that others will die, Honor and Sacrifice’s twisted mirror... How much better, though, is the politician? Who, citing “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” Will bring ruin to his own population More surely than outside intervention! Seeds of Doubt, Seeds of Destruction, Knowledge without wisdom, Children killing children, Seeds that lead To Death and Devastation.
