What We Teach

E.J. Waling

What we

teach.

Generations

pass.

New

infected 

by the 

old.

Passing

forward

fear,

superstition,

ancient 

stunted

thought.

Teaching,

molding

new minds

old dogma.

Past

flows

forward

holding

rigid

primitive 

concepts,

thought.

Modernity 

struggles.

Wrestling 

free.

New era.

New

intelligence.

Indoctrination.

Teaching.

Same

pattern.

Infecting 

new 

with old.

Human

primitive,

injected.

Infecting all.

Fears,

superstitions.

Moving 

forward

through the

artificial.

    This reminds me of life itself as we tunnel along through old and new. Well done in short lines giving the feeling of moving forward quickly. Very nice
