Some cash now
No big talk about the future
Design & flow
With the current curriculum.
Teaching as you go
No lack of experience to draw from,
No paucity of language to express yourself
Just an overflow of logic and emotion.
The type of knowledge
That is absorbed without intent
The truths of existence,
That we are taught without resistance.
You hear the agony 50 years later -
The loss of dignity
The absence of self-respect
Vietnam, yes, the U.S. failed.
And all the medals, commendations and bravery
Are lost in the mist of time
Hovering over cemeteries worldwide -
Testaments to failure of leadership
In a world of wealth and possibilities
But lacking integrity.
It is not a competition to the death -
It is simply economic prosperity
And individual liberty that are at stake -
We can compete peacefully for money.
There is no need for actual violence.
The winner announced day by day
As net wealth and liquidity are measured
By numerous objective entities.
And the money flows to the winner
Who prospers well and appreciates it -
And thus treats his opponents with respect.
