students alone in poetry

rebellion’s hard to get done
when they’ve got us all pressed down
check-to-check and deep in debt
and on the run forever

let’s be real
the crushing student and medical debt
heaped on millenials is what “killed”
anything you think millenials “killed”
they’d buy love to buy new stuff but
but they’re too busy trying to stop
Navient from taking their fucking thumbs
from sending out three guys in suitcoats
to break their kneecaps with a
motherfucking crowbar

rebellion’s hard to get done
when your wallet’s got you on the run
which is no coincidence they happen to exploit
having everyone like that on the run
that’s a feature of the system not a bug
it’s all part of the plan
