Short on cogitation long on repetition
a sense-drilled-out-of-him curriculum victim;
an overschooled fool methodically misled
by the expertly misleading system
<...>
An academic yes-man
an accomplished parrot
a tenured automaton an educated dope;
a paragon of learning
by means of mindless rote

he beamed with pride at the letters
that like a tether of weathered chain
he never failed to unspool
into the depths at the end of his name.

He beamed at the mere sight and thought
of all these sought-after alphabetic links
that anchored his claim to scholastic fame
as he basked in the summa cum light
of having earned the conspicuous right

to trumpet these the jargon-ingesting proof
and hoop-jumping culmination
of his collegiate-cartel-sanctioned
ersatz education
<...>
an impeccably vetted adept
at scientific/semantic perversion;
one of mental corruption's illustrious
preeminent accredited merchants

and having evolved into all of these
nothing would prevent
much less impede his speedy ascent

to that prestigious catbird seat that perch
reserved for the highest high priest
and current dispenser-in-chief
of certified quackery

in the graduate factory's fabulous faculty
of pseudo-scientific studies.

A model indoctrinator
an ideological clown
a doctrine bound buffoon;
an inquiry despising curiosity deterring
conformity enforcing goon

our star so-called scholar
— while pretending to defend and foster
all things enlightened and liberal —
was secretly sworn to thwart critical thinking

being as he was a big deal
in the well-dissembled field
of advanced enhancement of blinkering.
