Such innocence of self does there abound
An ordered life for all there found
A sea of youthful glowing faces
Trained minds and tutored graces
Their stock is of a favoured strain
Where rich parents realise the gain
From parting from one term’s duration
The benefits of isolation
Their school an ancient past encases
For Pippas, Emilys and Graces
In future they will trawl the bank
For suitors of an equal rank
Society can be unjust indeed
To favour such a privileged breed
To train them for a surer life
Less prone to want and sacrifice

Interesting thoughts, but perhaps lacking the insight that personal experience would give. I would like to make it scan better but confess that while I feel as if by doing that, I could improve it, I do not feel I am able to create the original.
