University

Towering buildings of knowledge
libraries and eateries
bicycles and backpacks
the lumbering masses, off to begrudgingly learn

Professors, faculty
research upon the problems
practical and theoretical
solving the world, one step at a time

The institution that determines the future
the gateway to a most desired future
yet oft' one will go through it without joy
head down, wishing it was over

Perhaps there is a better way
to charge upon that fortress of knowledge
with head held high
ready to conquer the challenges within

There will be damage and attrition
casualties of a system built to reward the best
but is it not worth it to seize such days?
The university is built for the student.
