Re-Education

A penny for your thoughts?

I’ll pay you better to keep them to yourself

Is it not sad that’s what we’ve come to?

What business could you possible have-

Possible want in my affairs?

I don’t see what you’d have to gain.

Is it that fleeting feeling of satisfaction?

I know something you don’t know.

The only thing you know,

Is that you know nothing at all.

Have you never heeded to the old clichés?

Must I really repeat them here?

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

It’s elementary, my God!

But perhaps you were absent for that lesson.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

I think it’s about time you get some re-education.
