Fundamentalist Nation

I deliver this oration
to reveal the correlation
between age-old obfuscation
and our human degradation.

I decry the aspiration,
of cynical calculation,
conspired in orchestration,
to subjugate education.

Curiosity's cessation,
intellectual castration:
beware this manipulation
designed for assimilation.

Ideas exit gestation
subject to much alteration;
an honest mental libration
of a questing inclination.

Doesn't matter what your station,
intelligence or relation,
learning is an excavation
and knowledge, its integration.
