Old SchoolHouse

Around the Circle of Enlightenment
Exists a old Church and Town Hall,
And upon a Northern spoke present,
An Ohio Western Reserve Schoolhouse.
Tallmadge, this hub for higher education,
Where every road led to THE CIRCLE,

Principles laid out in Old Schoolhouse's
That was the founding foundation of America.
Where every child needed those special teachers,
Whose abilities elevated our American frontier.
Old Schoolhouse, here and there, with graduations -
Where every year, new generation learned more.

Oh, woe be me, a Tallmadge grad, they want to raze .
History - for Condo Apartments to serve Land Developers.
Politico Robbing Hoods of The Village at Town Center.
Who will lay waste to Tallmadge's Old Schoolhouse.
City Condonized for Commercial Investment illicit profits.
Who would make THE CIRCLE, Parking lots and Cement.

Central Junior high gone, old Tallmadge High, also to be razed
Every building deemed on track for demolition, one attended.
But biggest blight amid tragic travesty to be deemed unworthy,
Is to take the building foundation Of Tallmadge spoken words
And destroy the fabric of why Tallmadge was established.
That from evolving revolving spokes of THE CIRCLE inheritance
This Old Schoolhouse started THS World Wise Word graduations.
