A Charge for Universities

What is education worth?

$15,000.00, $25,000.00, even $70,000.00 a year?

How much is the difference between a life of poverty,

or a life of success?

Can I find it on clearance?

What lengths do I have to go to in order to provide for myself?

What do I have to sell?

My time, my energy, my possessions, my car, my health, my body, my soul?

How long will I be paying off the debt

to my unalienable human right?

The numbers in the dividend,

do they ever end?

Is the worth of education worth the cost?

To be baptized in enlightenment is priceless.

So why is the bill so long?

If only one thing I could change,

It would be the charges I have to pay.

Now I charge the universities with a question:

What is the worth of education?
