College Dreams Graduate Nighmares

College Dreams Graduate Nighmares

A Poem by Joshie MacCasim
"

Venting because My College dreams swiftly became graduate nightmares.

"

You walk across the stage of matriculation
you smile as they call your name its a standing ovation
you walk in a line to recieve that glorious degree
when you walk off that campus theres a job waiting you think
reminscing of the hard work that 3.75 average
sum laude name attachment or you missed it by one classes
your the smartest kid walking across that stage
your the center of your loves one attention that day ,
just as thousands walking across the stage going to thier houses
thinking about these dreams riding benz beamer bentleys to that new desk job
smiling thinking about that degree and how its you unique to me
but all that time your blind for its too hard to see
employment is hard to find  but still nieve you think whoa
i finished more than high school theres a job for me you'll see
then reality sets in they have more experience than you
or your overqualified because management sees you as a regengade her to take thier job
then all your desision become dumb quickly cause
libral arts major such as history and political science jobs are hard to come
unless you go back to schook get a master degree
now your major choice are coming back to haunt you
where do you work sallie mae is stalking me
and you settle for a job a humble beginning
were that training doesn't matter and the pay is close to nothing
and you move back home cause you struggling
and suddenly that degree means nothing.
