A Cheerful Person

Off to college he'd gone a cheerful, optimistic fellow laidback, easygoing, mellow not one to boom or to bellow But the folks there taught him to be ashamed of his privilege That due to his fair white skin the college had let him in They told him that his part-time job served the corrupt capitalist mob that he should get out there and protest with all the strength he possessed So he turned against the 'system' rejected those who would kiss him learned to make a Molotov cocktail targeted a cop; now he's in jail Yes, off to college he'd gone a cheerful, optimistic fellow He'll return home a bitter young man robbed of hope ~ no future, no plan.
