Seeing All The Pretty People

Seeing all the pretty people
Seeing them encased in glass
All their assets on display
Trimmed in polished brass

Prancing & strutting proudly
Unaware of their obligation
Souls such as these
Come with a re-appropriation

Trade off for their gifts
Liabilities detrimental & hyper
Left in an excited state when
It comes time to pay the piper

Ringing The Doorbell At The Campus Bookstore

Ringing the doorbell at the campus bookstore
A vintage, pull chain contraption
Antiquated, yet still rather expensive
A lot of fine print within the caption

Education is a self-fulfilling myth
When the public library is free
Pay your tuition into the system
It all depends from what lens you wish to see
