Starting Over...

Tonight, I'm back to where I was

As if time stood still

As if I never accomplished

Anything at will

Beginning again...

A constant refrain

Over and over

Tattooed in my brain

You finish what you've begun

To find yourself back

To when any challenge

Wasn't won

Doesn't matter

What you've done

For other people

Doesn't matter

What you've done

For yourself

All your tests

Are put on a shelf

You are judged by

What you have

Or have not

What job you

Apply for...

If you don't get it

What a bore...

Education doesn't mean

Anything in this society

It is all about

How much money

Can you make

Even if you compromise

How much can you take

From a degree where

Success is nearly promised

It's not your fault

When the economy

Failed

Still it is your fault--

You must've bailed

What is next--

Who knows?!!

All that is real is

Not listening to

The naysayers

Who claim

That education

Is a waste of time...

When they can't find jobs

Without it...

Point the problem at you

Miscontruing their

Future passed

It is all due to you

That they can't find

The work they once had

It's always

Someone else's fault...

Take it out on family

When you can't point

Fingers at who, what,

Where, and when

This austere government

Ceased to be your friend

Sheeple run wild

And get their wool

In an uproar

But, how much

Do they count?

When it is up to you

By yourself

As to who and what

You will amount...

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato
