I think you've got a good feel and flow with this, but it's too much of a jump into the final stanza. You need a bit of segue to better link the sections together.

hm..maybe. I'll think about it..any suggestions?

I suggest expanding it to six stanzas. The fourth stanza could be the soft start of the segue, perhaps talking about diminishing opportunities, and growing unemployment/hopelessness/despair, and the fifth stanza as the harder part of the segue mentioning superstition/growing ignorance/pandering to the lowest common denominator (à-la reality TV), which of course feeds directly into your hook/turn in the final stanza about not forgetting how to think, which brings your message home.

Try it now..and thanks

It flows and moves much, much better now. :)

Flows even better now. Thank you for the advice..it looks really good.

Cool. works and raves at the same time...

Think you can throw ideas and darts at mine?

I NEED to get back to writing...this was done a thousand years ago when I was much more enthusiastic...

It kinda jumps and stutters...I'll redo it soon as I get some ME time and not just catch up distracted time...
