Poem: CAVEAT TO THE UNSCHOOLED

Be careful. I say, be very careful

Doubt is an armor; trust is a weakness.

Do not just kiss the gleaming white paper

With your thumb marinated in violet fluid.

You do not know if it is your death sentence,

Or a sturdy high fence to keep you off your land,

Or an absorbent sponge to sop up your sanity

Or a sell-out of your soul or your possession,

Or a permanent pact with the Devil himself

Education has attached hideous horns to faces,

Even to those that look like cherubs or seraphs .

Those who trounce deceit need no paper

For a handshake can do as well as it does

Honesty is from the heart, not the schools./ chytdaytec
