Learning Clones


The tattered rags of oiled education
Some of which is coarse and shambles
Some of which gleans the true color of the cloth
Some of which tightly sewn restricts blood
Some of which residue stains the flesh
Within these walls a boiling pot
Mixed by the shreds of hide
Fire beneath sparks the boiling
Culmination of a plethora of heterogeneous
All welding together forging unity
Uniqueness thinned, socialism prevails
Leather straps of silicon and cotton
Replace the platinum and gold
A chrome belt hinders growth
Of the silver that once flourished
Tattered rags now uniform apparel
This suit the ideal artificial wrap
In reality, the threads mismatched
The lining poorly finished
Holes protruding from the solid sea
Cheap fabric to produce a maximum
Negating the original, the unique
And replacing with pyrite
