Movie Theater Lessons

Demonstrating Piety

Seeing kids leaving the theater
Laughing fills the air
Absorbing the destructiveness that is
Caused by the entertainment
Looking on, Can’t help but
Cringe at the blindness that
Consumes the kids who are
Having fun while
Learning to murder, steal, and lie.
Joking I say to them
Nothing like murder and a
Beating for only six-fifty.
Following this comes language
Taught by the movie, no doubt.

Screw you,old man!
Smiling I see them leave
Walking a bit faster now.
Slopping it seems is the
Moving of the hall floor
Falling toward the bottom
Screaming, Screw you, old man!
Burning they keep
Walking, no,
Falling down
Onward to Hell.

1998
