SAT
The students
Sadly sat for the
SAT.
Three hours of one dimension thinking
Squeezed between stress and
Critical thinking.
Thinking?
Knowledge based
Problems compressed to the best
Of
A
Possible
2?
Then the eeny-meenie-miny-
Moe.
Whoa!
(I personally liked Curly)
Resuscitating
Words never used,
From long dead languages
Thatcreepandimbuesemanticpuzzlesofapathetic
Pedantic Pablum.
Let’s see how they perform without time?
You wicked Board.
25 minutes to compose a work of art.
Would To-Be-Or-Too-Bee B composed while
Doing the nasty?
Maybe,
and
Try on E=MC triangle in a
Fart?
So,
March out the 1600 deviant
Points to the future of
Pennsylvania Avenue's Seat
where they will be efficient and clever
Rehearsing humanity’s crisis with pencil in hand,
Quadratic equations at the tip,
And passages afoot piddling in a puddle
Of incomprehensible poop.
Leaving wisdom and heart
Where they SAT—
All that is meaningful,
Flushed.

Excellent write....

You may not believe this, but I never took these tests seriously. I never studied or fretted a minute over a test like this, even the Graduate Record Exam. However, my classmates often went berserk and did all kinds of weird things to try to overcome their fear. These are the same people that fear income tax and become slaves to conservatism. Let's face it, it's just a test of what we are capable of. If we fear the test, then we fear life. For the test does nothing but check on our abilities. Not the cramming that we did the night before, the money that our parents spent with tutors, or the unnatural fear we have of failure.
