"But our education system fetishises Oxbridge to a blinding extent"
We who are ignorant, who see
spires and dare to dream,
Who aspire to a status for the
children that
we could not sustain for
ourselves. How we cheered
on Michaelmas day: “The world
lies at her feet!” we said.
It’s true, the world does
lie, and her feat will be to survive.
To sit through this farce
till curtain call she must outride
the confident stride of Old
Etonians, the asinine posing
of the Polo team, the Bullingdon
bullyboy frolics,
the Bollinger and beluga gorging of the Gaveston girls.
Hold your head high darling. Your academic flame flares
bright over their nepotistic game. Look them in the eyes!
