The Path Well Trodden

To get attendance we sit in class
our minds blank, clear as glass
Turn up the music in our ears
as confined here we waste four years
Society approves, calls it learning
in reality it's just money burning
because education has been capitalized
institutions are all privatized
make a hefty "donation" and admission is "Free"
Four years later, collect your degree
concept is a foreign word
rare like an exotic bird
few have seen it and fewer still
care about it and in themselves instill
a thirst for knowledge, a passion for learning
the rest only care about earning
but why would a company pay well for a job
performed by one with sense comparable to a corn on cob

So if you're on this well trodden path
and yearn for success
Go take a bath
and start afresh
