defective machine dictating inane

for all its intent the crisis remain

not to read and write

a disease we must fight

incarcerated by no insight

impervious to the lasting effect

which carries through life

as a strong defect

not to read and write

a disease we must fight

incarcerated by no insight

because of this fallacy

unaware of an event

imposing this malady

inveigled by false intent

delete the education

culminate in ignorance

knowledge in hibernation

wait to have deliverance

words spoken but not read

how can we escape this dread

no one reads no one writes

must secure our birth rights

the power inside subject to arise

in hibernation waiting to devise

not to read and write

a disease we must fight

incarcerated by no insight

incapable of literacy

awareness has been reduced

by their inadequacy

lunacy has been induced
