    Cavafy’s poem makes me think of college, specifically in terms of how I should, we should, be grateful that we are here. It is a privilege to attend college, a privilege to further our education. It is not easy, but getting here, being accepted here, is an achievement in itself, “a glorious thing” to quote Cavafy. This is a step on the ladder of education. It may not seem, when stepping back and looking at it all, like it is a great feat or triumph to have been accepted here, but by directing my focus to the here and now, I can see that I am incredibly fortunate and extremely privileged to be at this university.…

    INTRODUCTION The world’s many dystopian debacles including, poverty, war and capitalism are commonly disputed though the effective manipulation of protest songs. Cambridge Dictionary defines protest song as a song that expresses disapproval, typically regarding politics.
