And I Am Sorry

It’s Saturday

And I’m spending the day

Selling

The blood that makes me

Human

So that I can be more

Than an overlooked

Failure

Years from now

And pay for the college

That should be free

For a society

That doesn’t care

Giving up

Parts of my body

When they already own

My soul.

 

No, I am not well.

 

Not today.

 

But tomorrow,

When this society is gone,

 

All will be better.
