The Broke Rich
January 28, 2016
We want a degree. We
Are anything but free.
We are strangled by debt. We
Aren't rich yet.
We can't afford what we own. So we
Take out a loan.
We aren't as rich as we seem. We
Are living the American Dream?

This poem is about how unubtable achieving the "American Dream" is when everyone, even our country, is in debt.
