Addressing The Graduate Of Fine Arts

For me certainty means

Factually speaking makes financial green

But when looking for the truth

While spinning a record-breaking dethroning King Babe Ruth

There are things expecting to happen

Patiently fingers tapping

Respecting

After checking

Granted access

Discovering a mess

Graduate walking across the stage

Ready to turn the chapter page

Leaving the academic classroom cage

Setting safe and secure

Needing to rush out the reality door

Into something that is thought to be there

Not having a worry or scare

Reflect

During the era where now the letters received state ‘reject’

What did I study?

Doing it for the money?

Or was it the maturing lesson

Information lecturing interaction addressing

Coming to terms

Finding concern

Today grab whatever one can

Before making the commitment stand

Not trapped in a commuter jam

Only to find out the ‘nine to five’ was a professional scam

How you know something

Is the key to getting life’s brass ring

And it is education

Protection

Spending the time

And maybe a few thousand dimes

Change is the dream

Heard vocally with a scream

More worthy than the silver dollar

Every day wearing a white collar

Taking notes

From the boss who makes decision based on political votes

Sitting there well dressed

Having a need to impress

There is a pink slip

Attached to a paper clip

Off to human resources

Finished with these courses

‘It is time to move on’

Hearing dialogue destruction like an atomic bomb

Sitting ever so calm

Listening to the termination wand

“Why me?

I have a degree!"

Was the scripted line to say

Taking severance pay

The wrong way

Walking out on the controlled corporate environment

Twenty-three months spent

Now waking to the fact

Truly sacked

Giving free dumb

To be a bum

Placing experience in the back pocket

After energy was removed from its socket

Remember what was supposed to be known

When transferring messages while answering the phone

During the eight-hour weekday show

Where business was slow

Despite this was the place to grow

And in time

Reasoning will find

Another mountain to climb

Smelling the fresh air

From those who care

And share

Same creative thoughts about the new affair

Challenging to endure

Coming home with the big score

Having understanding

Sick of demanding

Using conviction

And no restriction

Ready to take on the addiction
