What began as preparation
To emerge all encompassing
Literally
And intellectually
A World unto itself
And its followers
Prone and prepared
To the collective intentions
of the thousands who have gone before them.
In uniform rows of certainty
Young hearts and minds
Ever on the march
accomplishing genuine degrees of success
within their immediate societies
Graduate ….
….. to carry arbitrary boundaries
embedded deep
Formally …
Into the school of life
