Love Is

Learned helplessness is
Who we're in the trenches with.
We can no longer 'plead the fifth'
In times requiring privileges.

What am I talking 'bout
When privileges I tout?
Pop the boxtop and peek out
Amongst the rocks, there are sprouts.

Clearly their futures are in doubt
If we continually choose bail outs,
And watching TV to tune them out.
Stories of pensions and pay that cloud

The true story that's working out.
Educate early to avoid the caper.
Papers, check marks, stars, and staplers
Is not what makes kids cap'ler. Love is.
