Coffee for the Soul and Soup for the Brain

Sat, 12/06/2014 - 12:40 -- JaiLit5

Coffee

            Spilt on the floor

            Is such a waste

            Especially

For

            The broke college girl who

            Just wants to have a future

            Just like

The

            Coffee now spilt

            The girl is a mess

            With nothing left and her

Soul

            Dangling by a thin paper streamer

            When it breaks there will be nothing left

            Of the girl but emptiness

And

            Of course student loans that

            Will require payment.

            In these times

Soup

            Will seem like a pleasant treat

            Because when you are a poor

            Student, you cannot afford to have a soul

For

            They are far too expensive,

            Easily broken,

            And worthless.

The

            Girl will find a way to live,

            But it won’t be the way she wants

            Because her

Brain

            Couldn’t handle spilling

            The coffee everyday

            Without losing a little soul with every                    

            Ground lost to the floor.
