BUSTED!!!




Examinations!  Why do we have them? Rarely are exams welcomed for what they are actually worth.
The initial purpose of so called examinations was probably to assess the knowledge of a person and to know exactly how much of a certain subject or topic, the individual is aware of.
Competetive exams are all well and good if that initial purpose doesn't get lost. However, seemingly, examinations are set so as to put individuals down as miserably as possible. It diminishes morality or whatever is left of it rather than encourage.

Examinations in India today seem not only bent on assessing how much we DO NOT know rather than what we DO know, but it turns people against one another in fierce unhealthy competition that leads to detrimental and not to mention purely evil statergies to ensure your "friends" or "colleagues" fail miserably while you come out with flying colours.

There is no margin left today for free thinking or any sort of thinking. Interpretation and reasoning has gone out the window. The only kids who seem to ace their papers now are the ones who learn by heart every word from their texts to the "T". They do not think, they do not question, they do not WANT to know how or why and eventually they do not LEARN. Isn't that what education comes down to? LEARNING?...If only the system changed. Wishful thinking it will remain atleast for as long as I am a student.

Ignorance

Dont pretend to know me
Because you dont.
Dont pretend to care
Because Im sure you wont.
Dont lie to my face
Because I can see right through you
But most of all dont pretend to love me
Im well aware of your clever ruse.

Dear Dad




Vivid are my memories of you.
The way you looked
The way you smelled
You were my hero.

My little tiny hands you put in yours
Held it tightly in you veined palms
Wrinkled and toughened over the years
But strong all the same.

I'd listen intently
My knees folded against my chest
To your stories so elaborately told
Amazed, amused, in awe of you.

You were my tower of all strength
Your voice that lulled me to sleep
Your name, my first spoken word
How that tower came crashing down!

Why'd you abandon me and leave?
Was I that horrid to live with?
Did you ever love me or was it all untrue?
Or was it because I wasn't the son you wanted?

I never asked for anything, no crayons, no dolls.
All I wanted was to be your little girl.
All I wanted was your love
But you thought only of yourselves.

Now I'm not a little girl anymore.
Now Im starting to forget..
Your face, your smile..it's becoming evanescent.
I struggle to remember now.

But still I'll wait for you.
To see you one more time.
To refresh those waning memories.
To see my tower rise again from the ashes.

Thoughts on a Dying World

All these voices all around.
But I hear the silence in my head.
Shedding my skin like a snake.
I was ignorant, now I know!
My heart once full, now forlorn.

Lead now flows through my veins.
The filth of this world, stained.
Hear hear! but who will listen?
We all live in solitude together.
Pain and agony in this world manifests
I'm tired, I lay my head to rest.

Where there was love, there is now animosity.
Where there was joy, there is agony.
Where there was hope, there is misery.
Where my heart was in conflict, there is now tranquility.

Damnation Take Me

To him I cry
Who holds my soul in his grasp
To him I plead
Not to crush and pulverise it
For that is all I have left of me
All thats left that gives me life.

I watch as I see him stare at it
His lips curled into a sinister smile
I dare not fathom what his thoughts might be
I know him only too well, so horrifying is he, so vile.

To him I smile
Hoping he has a heart of his own
To him I beg
For my freedom, for release, for tranquility.

He looks down at me with that face so bitter
Looks into my eyes and sees me for all I am
I reach out slowly grasping in pain
He really is nothing like any other man

To him I sing
In a final attempt to win him over
To him I say
"We both know it isn't of much worth to you"

He looks down at me again, serene this time
I look up and see, the tears welling up in his eyes
My soul is now his, its become him, Im sinking
Where my heart had once been, now the last flame dies.

My Little Girl(old)

Little girl,I'm right beside you,Im right here
From behind the shadows I listened to your prayers
From now until forever more
I'll hold your hand,of that Im sure

Listen to that voice deep down in your heart
If you listen real hard,it never will part
Look within yourself for the truth that lies
I'll be with you always,even across a thousand miles

Little girl dont worry,I'm always here
No matter how far you are,Im near
Dont listen to anything they say
I promise I'll show you brighter days

They beat you,they hurt you,they tore you apart
They left you aching,alone in the dark
Helpless,abandoned,numb,and in need
From those seeds,hate began to breed

Little girl I'm here dont cry
Wipe your tears it'll be alright
Open your heart and lose all fear
Hold on tight,the end of the road is here

Im here,your guardian angel,I'll keep you warm
I'll stand by your side,be your shelter from the storm
Now you've found solace,you're safe,you walked through that whilte light
No more sorrow,no more pain,good night my little girl,sleep tight.
