SIX

So educate my people better,
And with most urgent methods,
But teach them more than words,
Teach them deeds;
The selling as well as buying,
Teach them history’s triumphs
As well as mistakes,
And don’t make them responsible for either.
Yes we should treat each other fairly and squarely,
But some of us still need our edges planing,
And political chisels don’t cut it at the moment.
