4. Statement Discovered on a Headteacher’s Noticeboard
Dear Teacher,

Women and babies shot and burned
by high school and college graduates.
So I am suspicious of education.

Help your students become human.
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters,

Reach for the skies, up she goes!
With gusto in it, beauty shows.
Stretch the boundaries, barriers break.
Shoot for heaven, shackles shake.
Back flip, pike, somersault,
Hand stand, inward, swallow.
Take the board and shoot aloft,
Faith will bring the morrow.
