It was the College that Killed Him
Looked him in the eye,
and told him no.
It was the college that betrayed him.
Told him to be quiet,
and forced him to go.
It was the college that lied to him.
Told him he could learn,
yet kept him at bay.
It was the college that scolded him.
For jumping ahead,
they got in his way.
For every book and lesson he struggled to gather,
A rule and a price is what they threw at the matter.
It was the college that maimed him.
Destroyed his desire,
and tore him to shreds.
It was the college that killed him.
Gave him diplomas,
and left him for dead.
