Credentialism

Assess assess sit for another test
If you Do nt measure up
You didn’t do your best

Left some effort on the shelf
Prove yourself
So I can prove myself 
Society gave you your degree
Write the cost on my effigy 

Credential 
Certificate
Masters degree
In bullshit

Can barely lift a rock
Uncaloused hands passing office hours
Passive aggressive thoughts 
Etched in blackboard chalk

Sit and listen
Sit up tall
Answer questions when I call

Report cards
Leather belts
Walking on eggshells 
It’s grade school hell

Death of creative minds
Institutions leading the blind
Free thinkers or askewed left
Who’s gonna pay for our childhood theft?

Measure up
