Array ( [sid] => 185654 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Graduation [time] => 2018-12-03 20:40:44 [hometext] => Growing up is a life long experiment. [bodytext] => Education builds leaders the colleges say. They promise their graduates much better pay.

Students are eagerly anticipating, that leadership offering each is awaiting.
But we all need a job temporarily; because bills must be paid; and rent isnt free.

Still, working all day was not part of our scheme; realitys trampling all of our dreams.
The want ads mislead, and when we are paid; the government takes most of what we have made.

Life is a teacher; whose lessons are cruel. We work at a window; we cant make the rules.
Were down below rowing; not steering the ship. Uniformed, badged, or working for tips.

The hardest lesson well ever learn; is that everything good has to be earned.

The reason we promise so easily; is that promises dont come with guarantees.
A dreams just a wish until it comes true; and your dream is out there counting on you.

Education builds leaders the colleges say. They promise their graduates much better pay.

A dreams just a wish until it comes true; and your dream is out there counting on you.
