scholarship
Here is the scholarship built from the breaking of my bones and the tearing of my mental flesh
resurrected from the dead dreams buried in the liberal arts category
You cannot deny me my entry here before my death, to leave me as part of
The workforce you shun scribbling furiously and hurriedly before the day
Of eviction, judgement day is delayed and my bible lessons mean nothing now
To die in this concrete jungle cornered with meat saws to tear through
The creative means breathing
YOU WANT ME TO DIE LIKE THIS
TO DIE LIKE THIS
Your silver plated windows keep dirt out of the crevices, watching the haul of
The average body like trash day with flying cans
Flying to your typewriter with the last stroke of the keys and a final
Breath for no one to care, and to realize the counter production you bled
Into the veins of those adjoining you, circling an entrapment and
Fencing your way into a freedom of isolation
You have come unto us like nothing human
Believed to be above us however no more worthy than the mucus
Of our sick and unenlightened children
So here is my scholarship
