Mortgaged Futures

  I’m back again, as I’ve been back before.

  Circles within circles and endless corridors.

  Time passes, passes me by.

  Stuck in limbo as I study.

  A life on hiatus to get to a life in debt.

  University, cold, no compromise.

  Struggling for funds it strangles the weak

  Bleeds them dry.

  A hollow carcass refusing to die, as it

  Lures in prey with promises of a future.

  Yet we’ve mortgaged tomorrow; no worse

  Been mortgaged ourself.

  We never asked for this; did not vote for it.

  Fuck you all.
