No. 5

The bells blare announcing the call for worship
The shuffle of feet and murmur of voices
The clang of locks and lockers
The Gathering of books an ancient ritual performed every morning;
Performed by the masses in an act to please the Gods
The Gods put the people to work everyday, guide the people and determine their grade
The Gods teach the people in the ways of Geography, English and Maths;
Skills that must be taught but are never used
But are only to taught because of tradition
Such are the ways, for the peoples' ancestors were taught, and their ancestors' ancestors
The skills of Shakespeare, coastal processing and poems are taught to never be used
The people sit all dressed in their worshipping dress, in an effort to please the Gods
Their hair all cut, shirts tucked in and fabric adorning their necks
The people sit attentive, more from fear than respect
Working for their lives

To please the Gods

Learning useless skills about past, present and future
In an effort to please the Gods
The same Gods who can create and destroy life
