a poem can only be learned BY HEART
if the learner through their own choice

is drawn to the poem

the surest way to put children off poetry
is to insist that they are injected
with it by being forced

to 'learn' it by rote

poetry to rote-code = diffused poetic potential

if one craves a hive of consumer/producers
each subject easily switch-flicked

by banal advertising

then Govine Spongiform Encephalopathy
is the weapon of choice

ROTE-CODE

from Gove's War on Error, an Operator's Manual

chapter 6
section 66

guidance on how to diffuse a poem's potential

poetry is dangerous
do not underestimate its capacity
to inoculate a subject

against Govine Spongiform Encephalopathy
(the most effective biological weapon
against Error known to Man)

to maintain a subject's stats-o-tonic state
it is essential to eradicate

all opportunities to know
poetry by heart

it is therefore a regime high priority to render poetry

to rote-code render
poetry to rote code
render poetry to rote
code render poetry to
rote code render poetry

poetry must be flattened to data-glaze
and subjects must be phonic-washed

The War on Error depends
on the eradication of poetry potential

the eradication of radicals
known as 'poets'

is the regime's highest priority

failure by 'regime trainers'
(formerly known as teachers)
to eradicate 'poets' from the population

will result in

Ofsted off-planet detention
for a maximum term

of Zero
