Usually poems name themselves. I just have to read what I just wrote for the title to become obvious.

I love you all.
I do not care.
(I’m writing this in my
Underwear.)
I think it’s us,
They call insane,
Who’re the only peeps here
That use their brain.
They think us incapable
Of critical thought.
It’s a system they rigged
That has now wrought
75% of 4th graders
Who cannot read
Going to the 5th grade.
Troubling, indeed.
Because all the wisdom left,
Is locked in words,
In books in Libraries.
They call nerds,
Who used to be just folks that read.
It’s anti-intellectual.
Read instead!
