Personal Responsibility (a poem, by me)

A kid, starry eyed and ambitious Takes a course in earth science And finds their ambition in life

Through college, they study hard Learning the fate of the ozone And of waterway pollution

Learning how to protect the environment Conserving natural resources To be sustained for generations

But when searching for a job, finds none And is told they should have worked harder And that it's their fault for being homeless

While the president sells national forests And corporations dump sewage into rivers "It's your fault your skills are useless."
