To Whom it May Concern


To Whom it May Concern,

 

I hope it has been brought to your attention here

that college is my future of today.

The expenses are war debts that will never be alleviated,

because what do human lives cost:

How can you place a price on the abstract;

pinning the tail on a speeding bullet.

 

It has come to my attention that college is not unobtainable.

the Number is affordable,

But among the shouting and lies my future is bleak,

buried in tens of thousands and the toil of the rest of my life.

Happiness intertwined with misery,

Debt intertwined with ability.

 

To Whom it May Concern,

Thank you for your time:

 

Hope it was not a waste,

Jennifer
