UNIVERSITY OF MY SOUL - Jenny Wilson

Newspapers

I use them as blankets

I made audacity my roof

Me, the pauper

Need no paper

No authors

I proclaim

I’m the poet

The opposer

The magician

The politician

Good ideas come out in limited edition

So listen

This is a testimony

We’re running out of light, right

We’re running out of days, huh

Running into darkness

Ruins

Libraries are shutting down

Schools are burning down

Our leaders must fall down

And let the women wear the crown

Let them take over

From the underground

To the streets, to the churches

From the cities to the deserts

To the parliaments

Don’t you judge me, just give me a coin

You need this education, boy

Straight from the university of my soul
