$100,000/semester

If I had been there at the time of Plato,
I could have been admitted to the “Academy”
Without having to pay $100,000/semester.
I would have had the chance to read:
Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito
To find out Why Socrates had to pay the ultimo
price
For teaching knowledge to all for free.
If I had been there at the time of Galileo,
I could have been admitted in the “Lynx Academy,”
Without having to pay $100,000/semester.
I would have used Ga1i1eo’s tWo great instruments,
Microscope and Telescope,
To explore the universe,
And have a better understanding of human nature.
Unfortunately, for me,
I came in the 20th century.
After they Wrote the Declaration of Human Rights,
They gave me a copy.
Article 26 was missing.
When I decided to improve my knowledge,
I Went to the university.
The university told me
I’11 only need to pay $100,000/semester
And send me to the bank for a loan.
I Went to the bank.
The bank told me
_ I’11 only need a good credit history
And sent me to the credit agency.

I Went to the credit agency.
The credit agency told me they Were sorry
That I had no record in their data bank.
I then felt sorry for all parents
Who might never have the pleasure
To call their kids
Doctor or professor
Only because they Were not born
With a good credit history.
