The Exam

THE EXAM
who could see what i believe
exam is what no more to see
instead to test it get men to grief
where o exam is your brief


can i ever again admire your passes
as in the time of Socrates
for life no more is tested in ink
for end is on the thing on the brink


who could believe what we have been
no more can icon say "to be or no to be"
are you still a test of knowledge
or to man a mirage
