My American Tale
Income dipped then credit tripped over obstacles
Got bold in survival mode and learned to hurdle
I'm not Fievel but this reveals my American tale
The pursuit of higher levels has retail shops in HELL
Determined to prevail and excel by any means
A Soldier and lifelong learner staying on my dean
Fiend for knowledge, knowing the best college is life
Where the admission toll is toils of turmoil and strife
An institution rife with barrels & shovels deferring degrees
Instead of conferring, it's offering nights on our knees
Praying Lord please help me to grind outta these binds
Refusing to allow anything to cause me to lose my mind

Let nothing destroy your sanity.
You remind me that my struggle is not the only one, Sir Damon. Thank You

That's the darker side of capitalism, they whet our appetites to have the latest and greatest, even the basics are getting ridiculously expensive.
Strong write.
