EDUCATION.
True education, is of the soul.It cannot be bought with silver or gold!The fountain is free!The only price, you may sacrifice,The opinion of friends and loved one.What I say, may appall, but I would give it allTo sit at the feet of Wisdom!
Can you see your last friend leave you,And stand alone, amid the strife,For a principle of truth,That you have found within,And know reflects a law of life?If you can do this willingly, with elation,Fear not O soul, you have true education!
