Poems by Henry Chen : 119 / 164
The Graduated and The Educated
Being graduated means you have a degree
With the aid of which you try to grasp some prestige
In the course of doing so
You may become a graduated evil or more
Being educated means you have a brain
With the aid of which you can deal any bargain
You can judge what is right and what is wrong
And will only stand on virtuous ground
Nowadays we can see a lot of graduated ones
Proud and arrogant they all stand
But are all of them educated or not?
That’s for you to make the sort.
