A Student’s Plea

You mortgage my generation.

Exchange my hopes for debt

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I ask you politician

How big a cut did you get?

You lie to make a living

Such vile poison do you spew

In the ears of every citizen

What good do you do?

You drink the milk of corruption

From capitalism’s breast.

To heed no interruption

At working class behest.

But politician I ask you,

And please listen to this plea

Forsake your tissue of lies

And try representing me.
