334. The Logic Of Youth

How can you dispute the logic of youth
When they carry out our given orders?
We train them to lie, cheat, and steal
And to think nothing of crossing ethical borders
From TV to movies we educate them so
We teach them about success and greed
Rewards are given for deception and mistrust
Reinforced by magazines and books they read
The American pie can no longer be eaten
For virtue now rots away on the tree
Sportsmanship and honor are given no meaning
What we have wrought is now plain to see
