Order of merit
Name remembered
Face recognized
Act Immitated
Fact Ignored
Entry for education
Deer in a birds Nest
Education opens doors
Institutions closes them
Knowledge imbibed
Growth and Maturity attained
Rest of life
Act as Security
Diverse Subjects Curriculum
Analytical Ability
Must for higher study
Lack of it
Remains a liability
Memorise pages
By the Hundreds
Different subjects
Not connected
To each other
Memory lacking
Future lagging
Exams or Tests
End of your Wits
Valued on Written
Excuses none taken
Prejudice of teacher
Grades gotten lower
Reputation at Stake
Tomorrow Vague
Salt to injury
Marked and Valued
Skill to Study
Graded according to Grade
Already decided your Fate
Einstein said famously
Dont ask a fish to climb a tree
Cool as a WhatsApp forwards
Quotes meant for Cowards
Percentage and Percentile
Dont make it past the cut
Branded Imbecile
Worthiness and Estimation
All depends on an Examination
Purpose of seeking
Worthy for every being
Bring in Grading
Destroy life and its meaning
Order of Merit
Brings Credit to names
Who appear
In the Order of Merit
Discrimination on Color
Race Caste
Non Bailable Act of Crimes
Discrimination on Grasp Memory Analytical Ability
Practiced even in Todays Times
Scarred at infancy
Not in the list of Merit
Brings along discredit
Follows like Shadow
Always questions
What brings in the Morrow
