Pedagogical Valentine

A shy smart-aleck I was back then
A phrase derived from a con man
Who exposed an evil prison system
Another kind of Alexander
'Defender of Humanity'
One crying out in the classroom
Feasting on figs and honey
'This is all hogwash'
A cursed science
And a lost religion
We came to get baptized
In water and fire
To remember our errors
And be changed by them
