Describe something you learned in high school.
In elementary school, you learn
To read and write. By high school,
You may have mastered thinking.
Being philosophical is becoming
To the teen. Thoughtful and full of
Thoughts with the ABCs as a sweet
Soft cushion to bolster axioms, to
Underpin creeds, and enforce the
Theories to which rampant ideas
Give voice and credence. Dogma
And ideology do not endoctrinate
The freethinking being who, being
Human, hatches plots that connect
To all others in the world mankind
Shares. Philosophy is a special gift
Which might lead to wisdom in the
Advance of years. But for now be
Content like the grinning Cheshire.
You are young. Everything is new.
