Smarting Child

Here, come say, “Yes,
This child is a genius!”
And watch our shoulders slump like languorous
Guns, I now know an onus on us.
Out of the chest he takes a toy,
The colors in it do not cloy --
Me, berated, for wooden ships primitive,
And the ancient Trojan horse from Troy.
With building blocks, we seek revenge
On the scripture of Stonehenge,
A countercall coming from young child,
The mission: history to avenge.
Wildly he delves
Into the depths of our whimsy-trod bookshelves,
He sees the falsity in trolls,
Yet traces elves
In his ear, in an attempt to be twice shrewd,
And dare I say rude?
And that night some cacophony
Lay within the lullaby we cooed.
Unfathomable, its tinny heights
Of up-rooted stalactites,
Saliently slinking Northern Lights --
And the learned reign of trilobites.
Here, come deem this child a genius,
And over broken tea we’ll fuss
And fight, at war in pedagogy,
The only thing worth, and us pompous.
The smarting child, crossfire cussed,
His unreconciled science must adjust,
And upon “yes,”
The guns we bust.
Smart, child, smart!
For, your tongue has been inured to tart.
Indeed, the peers of play will be embroiled
Once the inner sage has pierced your heart.

Unique write you have set forth for us to read.
Its has a depth unlike none I have read. I must admit I do not quite get the entire jest of it.. I shall read it once more. Would you pm me and explain a little further??
I do like this it makes the reader look deeper and reflect.
