In the hallowed halls of Harvard, where Veritas adorns the gate, A confluence of disciplines, a symposium so great. Law, Economics, Psychology, in scholarly debate, Each discipline, a thread in the fabric of fate. The Law, with gavel firm, decrees the bounds of right and wrong, Its jurisprudence clear, its principles strong. Economics, with its graphs and curves, explains the market's song, A dance of supply and demand, where resources belong. Psychology delves deep into the human mind's maze, Exploring why we act in such mysterious ways. Motivations, emotions, perceptions, it lays, Bare the essence of our days. Together, they weave a tapestry, intricate and vast, Each discipline, a color, in the spectrum cast. Harvard, in Veritas, holds these threads fast, Seeking truth, until the very last. So let this poem, a humble ode, aspire, To the pursuit of knowledge, to which we never tire. In Law, Economics, Psychology, we find the fire, That fuels our quest, our endless desire |
