Unprepared To Sit And Listen Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Unprepared To Sit And Listen



Minds undisciplined to have raised children,
To become offended when this is mentioned to them...
Is where we are today with kept expectations,
That inspired and qualified teachers...
Hired to educate those unprepared to sit and listen,
Should acquire more patience and dedicate themselves...
Without medication or other prescribed drugs,
To pull rabbits out of hats and practice hypnotism...
With a doing that will keep many deluded,
That discipline, common sense, motivation and initiative...
Is automatically dispensed upon one's entry into a building,
And if it is equipped with the best technology...
Those who can neither read or write or spell their own names,
Can then blame any failed attempts to make them competitive...
Competent, and accountable for their actions committed to accept,
On outdated video games, attitudes of teachers pushed to the edge.
And the lack of free time to socialize with friends at shopping malls.
