An Ode To The Ordinary Student

Where they study

And save money

Boxes are stacked high

Housing old information that died

Late night papers typed

Worrying if they were right

When reporting both sides in the subject’s fight

Which no longer ends up an important need

When planting the priority seed

Textbooks pursuing trivia at times

Stimulating youthful minds

In their search to learn

And be intellectually firm

Seeking desired pursuits

Career ambitions they do flirt

Two years in the books

Enough there for an associate to cook

But one could add some seasoning

Sprinkled with reasoning

Wanting a simple life

Proclaiming ordinary husband and wife

Others though continue, enroll in state

Wanting a bachelors, that is great

Living home

Or dorm, all alone

Remember this

Hustling may get your name on some list

But your brain thinks free

Especially when strengthened by a higher education degree
