ISSUES OF PROPOSED GREATNESS DENOUNCED

Folder: 
JOURNAL #33

ungraceful portrait

apolitically mourned  

suspicious in humor

these are the books

that nobody willingly read

but me

no spectacular curriculum

just crisis and word clutter

none too up beat and

a little too fifth street

if you ask me

passion squashed with colonial

zeal

impatient progress

come on people

who wrote this

really

a ticked off college student

still ill from being

bounced from

university................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written about books I've read over the years of my life that were suppose to be so great and basically I found them to be nothing more than tediously written
garbage that I had to make my self muck through. Many were forced upon me in school but some I willingly chose to read as unwitting someone along the way said oh Melissa you really should read this book, 'It's A Classic!'.............
