...doing nothing to save the world...

 
2 terribly cliché professors argue
about terribly cliché academic
b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.
just so they can hear themselves power talk
 stroking their ego
 thinking that they’re on top of 
the world
musing about how their wire frame glasses
and their obnoxious cardigans
make them untouchable

publish or perish

but does their tenure protect them
from the venom the child behind them
writes?
