Scholarly Vagrants
How do we become adults;
when we can’t afford to eat, drive to work, or even live
because our schools have drained the accounts?
Spent eight years trying to prove ourselves
only to find out we can’t provide enough zeros
at the end of checks we slaved away making.
So we become middle class beggars
standing on the corners of websites
to suffer for handouts that may grant us a chance at life.
How do we become adults.
