The Craziest Idea. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

College gang

The craziest thing you can do

Is be poor

And stupid, too.

I've been told I can

Anything is possible

I wake up early

Study late

But I'm not revolutionary

No scholarship for me

I can't be Will Hunting

When teachers here barely make a living

I can't be Mother Theresa

Because at 17 I don't have the charisma

If I can't

Volunteer and have a job

Be class president and have a perfect GPA

Captain the track team and debate

Should I just GTFO? lol

The real privilege is affording to be dumb.

And thus henceforth I shall create a nest effervescent

Of mine iniquitous no-job slob lyfe

Whilst I make some friends

I hear it's tough for graduates

Getting broke for something worthless

Well, I can't even do that

But I also can't get a job

So I'll play nice and fit right in
