Education with Strings

Bought and paid for
A diploma on the wall
A receipt that marks the proof of purchase
After all the truth, it’s worth less
Education with strings
Trapped inside the debt that knowledge brings
But how long can they charge
For what’s available at large
Is it worth the cost
This stamp of approval
What if tuition was tossed
A stress to pay that needs removal
Online,
on your own time
Or good ol fashioned formal education,
Education with strings
Barely holding on
Barely justifiable
Education that stings
Stress that debt brings
It is all before us
Google grants our graduation rings
Same old song, let’s rewrite the chorus.
