Hey Academic,
throw me some facts
Explain to me clearly
each thought you attack

Dear Intellectual,
restate and rephrase
Your version of truth,
empty words in the fray

Hello Professor,
is the poison pill done
Refilled with your venom
to spread to the young

And lastly the Critic
who stands by the wall,
Humpty Dumpty awaiting
your push to then fall

While open minds sit
in the cold and the rain,
Your cowardly torrents
bring nothing but pain

To all those so cloistered,
divorced from what’s real
Perdition your tenure
β€”inflamed to repeal

(Beaupre: November, 2020)
