They tell you to get


They tell you to get an education

they want you to be a better you

to learn about others with a differnt view and perspective

but money is key

the key to unlocking this knowlege they keep so hidden

from those who add perspective and a know a life so different

with knowlege we can change the past 

that our ancestors and parents had to endure

they tell you to get an education

but then they hand you the bill

Wisdom trumps all. Why can't we seek wisdome for free?
